Female orphans belong to the nearest male relative, as also does a widow, instead of to the nearest male relative of the husband, as was found to be the case in Western Australia by Captain Grey.

Two or three months generally elapse before the widow goes to another husband; but if the wife dies, the man takes another as soon as he can get one.

If a woman, having young children, join another tribe, the children go with her; but I am not aware whether they would remain permanently attached to that tribe or not.

Brothers often barter their sisters for wives for themselves, but it can only be done with the parents' consent, or after their death.

If a wife be stolen, war is always continued until she is given up, or another female in her place.
There is no ceremony connected with the undertaking of marriage.
