Answer:According to the will of her late father, Portia cannot marry a man of her own choosing. Instead, she must make herself available to all suitors and accept the one who chooses "rightly" from among "three chests of gold, silver and lead."

Portia’s father had made a will in which he had stated that Portia could not marry anyone she wanted to.

He had set a test for her suitors. Anyone who p(a)ssed the test would be Portia’s husband and Portia would have to accept him whole-heartedly. The test involved three caskets, of gold, silver and lead respectively, and only one casket contained Portia’s picture. If anyone chose the correct casket, he would p(a)ss the test and win Portia’s hand in marriage. If he chose the wrong casket, he would have to disappear from Portia’s life forever, and also vow not to ever marry anyone in his lifetime.
