Historical SummaryIn the African levirate and in Tibetan polyandry we find an extreme subordination of the marriage concept to the utility concept and we may find the same extreme subordination in other marriage patterns. In several localities an infant boy may be married to a grown girl, the practical aspect of the arrangement being that the services of the girl are thus secured for some years in advance of the physical maturation of the husband:
A father, when his son is at the age of six or eight, sometimes purchases for him, as a wife, a girl of fourteen or sixteen, and cohabits with his so-called daughter-in-law; she becomes perhaps the mother of a son, for whom, when about six years old, the nominal father again purchases a wife, and in turn lives with her.1
