Note 558 — Chapter IV · RISE OF THE MARRIAGE CONTRACT
Reading edition
Heusler, Institutionen, II, 280; and Lippert, Geschichte der Familie, 42, 44 ff., 95-118, agree with McLennan in regarding purchase, at first as an alternative for capture, as a general form of marriage through which transition is made to the paternal system of kinship and the modern family; Kulischer, in ZFE., X, 193, 218, and Kohler, "Studien," ZVR., V, 336; "Die Ehe mit und ohne Mundium," ibid., VI, 333 ff., take a like position.
