Bride Price Currency - Dai People - Spice Islands, Indonesia

African currency Babar.jpg

Price: $695.00


 


In the Babar Archipelago, though a brideprice is exacted, it seems only to carry the right to cohabitation, not to removal of the bride from her maternal home; for the husband follows the wife and dwells in her house, and the children belong to her family. If rich enough a man may have as many as seven wives.
