Note 161 — Chapter XIII
Reading edition
This is in contradiction with the statement (Journ. Anthr. Inst. XX, 56) that the various couples are not consulted. We also learn (loc. cit. p. 62) that the exercise of marital rights by own tribal brothers is independent of their pirrauru relation. The order of precedence is (1) tippa-malku, (2) pirrauru, (3) brothers.
