Abstract: | This paper, drafted many years ago, formed the background, with other unpublished material, against which the author came to the view about the nature of bridewealth indicated in his paper 'Social Character of Bride-Wealth, with Special Reference to the Azande' (Man, 1934, 194). Described is the role of the bridewealth in the formal procedure of traditional marriage in Zande-land some fourty years ago. French summary. |
