Starcke, op. cit., 141 ff. For his theory of juridical fatherhood see ibid., 121-27, 135, 139; and compare the similar view of Wake, Marriage and Kinship, 78 ff. This author gives an interesting discussion of the case of Boaz and Ruth, op. cit., 172-78, which may be compared with McLennan, Studies, I, 109 n. 3. On the evidence for juridical fatherhood among the Arabs, consult Smith, Kinship and Marriage, 119, 120.
