pIxorce AmonE the Burmese.

The marriage customs of the Burmese
are simple in the extreme. A man and
woman are married or are not mar
ried, according TO whether they live as
husband and wife or not. a man may
have several wives. though in practice
he rarely has more than one.
A woman may have only one hus-
band. Divorce Is matter for the VII
Iage elders. No court is necessary, no
decree. no appeal to legal or ecclesias-
teal authority. Divorce is but the
breaking of status. a wife retains
control of all her property when mar
r-ied: she has a half share in all proper
ty acquired during marriage. If she
is divorced she takes her own property
and half that Jointly acquired. There
IS no blending of her authority with
that of her husband. She may do
what she will with her own.
There Is no rule OF primogenlture and
no power of bequeathlng property by
testament. All the children inherit
equally. No Buddhist may make n

There is no preference of either sex

explained that beneath his brusque-
