Marriage In Japan,

A japanese husband IL allowed only
one wife. but to marry Is sometimes q
much more serious matter than with
Us. Either the husband must be form;
ally adopted into the family OF the
wife or the wife into the family of the
husband, the couple being absorbed
into one family and subject to its
discipline. As a rule, this custom
weighs more heavily on the bride than
on the husband, for she must not only
obey her husband, but every membel
of his family Of an older generation
than himself; hence young woman
often longs for old; age, 80 that she
may WELD authority over the younger
generations. To bring about q mar
riage I'm Japan an intermediary is ap
pointed, whose duty it is to introduce
the parties and to look to every ar.
"rangement of the wedding. He re-
mains through life the guide, philos.
opher and friend Of the. married cou'
pie. who refer all matters, all misun.
derstandings, to his counsel. - Pear.
