What reading level is Primitive Society, the Beginnings of the Family & the Reckoning of Descent book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
1 Borneo is occupied by many tribes often of widely different origin. But the general rule seems to be that the husband follows the wife, and presumably the children remain in the wife's family. But the rule is not universal. Among the Kayans a bride- price is paid, and the marriage ceremony includes a symbolical capture of the bride. The custom is, however, that the bridegroom goes to live for some years in the bride's dwelling, though he ultimately carries off the bride to his own house. It h...as been suggested that this is a modern custom of recent introduction to avoid the expense of an older form of marriage, whereby the wife is taken to her husband's home. If the bride be the only child of a chief, the husband may remain permanently in her home and succeed her father as chief. 2 Among the Sea Dyaks of Sarawak on a marriage the future place of residence of the couple is the subject of arrangement. As often as not, we are told, the man takes up his abode with his wife's relations. This particularly happens when the girl is an only child, but not only then ; " many matters are taken into consideration in deciding where they are to live." The natives of Borneo have under- gone a variety of foreign influences, temporary and permanent.
