Note 774 — Chapter V · EARLY HISTORY OF DIVORCE

Cf. Spencer, Principles of Sociology, I, 722, 723; Mason, Woman's Share in Primitive Culture, 229, for suggestive remarks in this connection. Westermarck, op. cit., 526-29, discusses this topic with characteristic minuteness, giving in a note a list of peoples, with authorities, among whom the wife has the right of divorce absolutely or on conditions.
