Reading edition

Bernhöft, "Zur Geschichte des eur. Familienrechts," ZVR., VIII, 12, 15, who also regards the view of Dargun, Mutterrecht und Raubehe, 8, 13, as extreme. Cf. his "Principien des eur. Familienrechts," ZVR., IX, 416, n. 39. Kohler favors the patriarchal system and agnation for the Indic peoples, in ZVR., VII, 201, 210, 216; X, 85. Hearn, Aryan Household, chaps. iii-vi, passim, takes practically the same view as Maine regarding the patriarchal theory, rejecting entirely for the Aryans the matriarchal hypothesis.
