Originally published in 1951 this book analyses the social values
and institutions involved in the establishment and maintenance of
marital relationships. Most of the data is derived from Umor, the
largest of the five Yakoe villages. As well as considering the
conventions through which mariatal values are expressed, the
relation of marital status to the general structure of Yakoe
society is also discussed. The book also determines the extent to
which the values posited by the Yakoe themselves are actually
operative and discusses the changing conditions which have modified
traditional standars of marital behaviour.
