Originally published in 1987, this book shows that there is still
considerable continuity in the practices and ideas of marriage in
Afican against a background of social and economic change. This
book discusses the diverse marriage forms in Africa and explores
the different systems some of which can be understood in terms of
Levi-Strauss's distinciton between complex and semi-complex
structures, while others throw up questions of filiation, child
custoidanship and rights secured through bridewealth transactions.
