Note 729 — Chapter V · EARLY HISTORY OF DIVORCE
Reading edition
Among the Mundingos the wife has an action against the husband for abuse; in Soulimana she may leave him, if the bride-presents are restored; while among the Krus in such cases her relatives must repay double the purchase price; Waitz, Anthropologie, II, 119, 120. Among the Charruas, where polygyny exists, the wife abandons the husband if an unmarried man will take her: Klemm, Kulturgeschichte, II, 75.
