What reading level is Marriage book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
, (^u. 5, 763: cf. 10, 152-6.
4 MARRIAGE IN NON-CHRISTIAN LANDS for it does not recognize even a first marriage if it have been made according to native custom merely ; it recognizes no native marriage unless performed before a Government marriage officer. Consequently the local inferior Courts can entertain no claim as regards dowry, &c. The result is certainly unfortunate. These marriages are, no doubt, very far from reaching the Christian standard of absolute indissolubility ; but the native... recognizes them as constituting a binding tie, not to be lightly broken. The lobola is partly a guarantee of this. If a husband repudiates a wife without adequate reason, she returns to her father's kraal, and retains there the cattle which her husband gave as her lobola. 1 On the other hand, if the wife desert her husband, her parents are bound to aid him in bringing her back ; failing this, there may be a claim on the husband's part to recover the cattle. 2 This is by old native law ; so that, to the raw native, as we call him, marriage as a binding engagement is at the base of a stable society.
