AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a descriptive account of familial and inter-household interactions observed during the courting and marriage of a young woman, and upon the death and burial of an infant. The marriage was an irregular one, which the author regards as showing that couples have personal choice in marriage partners.
