To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Spencer and Gillen give lists of terms in various tribes, differing in their character but all expressive of the same system. They conclude that no hypothesis will meet the facts save that group marriage is a system that underlies the language and social institutions of the various tribes. 39. The Undivided Commune Another point brought out distinctly is that in this matter there is no evidence of moral degeneracy. On the contrary marital regula- tions are strictly enforced, and breach of them ...severely punished, but the prohibitions relate to groups, and to individuals only as members of groups. To designate such intercourse as promiscuous falsifies the situation. Neither 116 NATURAL HISTORY OF THE STATE polygamy nor polyandry is so characterized, and group marriage is the fusion of both those systems, in conformity with moral obligations distinctly recognized as such. Transition to individual marriage is going on, but it appears as a differentiation of group marriage and is associated with some recognition of the insti- tution.
