In their dances, when any one may wish to deride another, in the accompanying song a line is introduced, "So and so has no children, and never will get any." She feels the insult so keenly that it is not uncommon for her to rush away and commit suicide.

After some days the bride elect is taken to another hut, and adorned with all the richest clothing and ornaments that the relatives can either lend or borrow.

She is then placed in a public situation, saluted as a lady, and presents made by all her acquaintances are placed around her.

After this she is taken to the residence of her husband, where she has a hut for herself, and becomes one of several wives, for polygamy is general.

Dancing, feasting, and drinking on such occasions are prolonged for several days.
In case of separation, the woman returns to her father's family, and the husband receives back what he gave for her.
