ABSTRACT
EXTENDED FAMILY AND VILLAGE HALF WOMEN, as a result of the Ibo rules of exogamy, have, as we have seen, affiliations of two kinds. They belong, as married women, to the village of their husband and, as daughters, to the village where they were born. In Agbaja they were grouped according to both these principles. As wives they formed a group within the village of their husbands. But all the women born in a village and scattered by marriage came together at intervals on the basis of a common birth-place.!
