ABSTRACT
Málo women sell fish in the bázárs, but in some places this practice is considered derogatory to their gentility, and is prohibited. Money is always paid for a bride, and of late years the price has risen to one hundred rupees. The bride’s father always presents his daughter with a silken, or other, fine, garment. After the birth of a child a feast is given by the rich to the caste Bráhman, and offerings made at a shrine called Dháka I_svarí, sacred to Durgá. As is general among the unclean tribes the `Sráddha is held on the thirtieth day after death.
