Abstract:I. The family. II. Marriage. Palygyny is the basis of family life, in theory with a limit of four legal wives according to Koranic law; usually, however, the number of wives depends on a man's economic status. There are many ceremonies accompanied by presents whose size and value increase as the negotiations proceed.
