Burma. as in many other things, is in advance of reputedly more Civilized countries in the status it accords to it's women. Tn infant marriages. the p1- lygamy. the harems, the social pun ishment of widows, the denial of spir- itual rights. which prevail in the neighboring continent of India, arc unknown in Burma There women marry when they are of age and aft CT they have seen something of the world. They marry for the most part, whomsoever they will and for love. They are not handed over as chattels to a man whom they know not, but are courted and won. The married wom- ems property act has in effect been established for centuries in Be ma, and the womans earnings are her own. The marriage laws are free and easy, but within her ideals the Burmese woman is a perfectly proper. modest and well hammered woman.
