Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of primitive societies, exploring the intricate systems of social organization that governed the lives of people across the globe. The author examines marriage practices, from the complex rules of kinship and the varying methods of acquiring a mate to the intricate web of relationships and power dynamics that defined family structures. The book offers a unique perspective on the family, challenging our assumptions about its universal form and function. The author skillfully navigates the diverse customs of different cultures, including bride price, exchange, capture, and love matches, highlighting the nuances and complexities of human relationships across time and place.
