Note 351 — Chapter III · THEORY OF THE ORIGINAL PAIRING OR MONOGAMOUS FAMILY

Tylor, On a Method of Investigating the Development of Institutions, 258. Cf. Westermarck, op. cit., 109; also Starcke, op. cit., 79, 80, who regards serving as a form of wife-purchase, and the migration of the husband as "due to the great cohesive power of the several families, which causes them to refuse to part with any of their members." Among various American peoples it is the custom for the husband to take up his abode permanently in the wife's family: Souza, "Tratado descriptivo do Brazil," Revista Inst.
