Note 825 — Chapter V · EARLY HISTORY OF DIVORCE
Reading edition
Thus in Dawan (West Timor), when peace is made between the divorced couple, the party who caused the separation must pay the parents of the other five swine and five pieces of linen. A year's interval must elapse with the African Peulhs of Futa-Jallon. In Unyoro (Africa) the reunion is celebrated by slaughtering a beef; and among the Berbers of Dongola the divorced man gives the woman two pieces of cotton stuff: Post, Familienrecht, 265; idem, Afrikanische Jurisprudenz, I, 453.
