- READING
KURIAR MARRIAGES
In Kuriarland, as in most African societies, producing children (especially boys) is very important. They secure ownership of land and continue the family name. For this reason, if a Kuriar woman cannot have children or has only female children, she can take a wife to have children for her. She looks for a wife who is healthy and strong and somebody who she thinks will be good company for her. Then the bride’s family pays the wife with, for example, 27 cows.
