The author, a distinguished anthropologist, has divided the coun try into different zones in accordance with the marriage practices followed in each. Her analysis of the southern marriage pattern, based on the chronological division of kin into older and younger kin rather than on the principle of generations, is an important contribution to Indian anthropology. She devotes an entire chapter to a comprehensive survey of property, succession and inheritance, topics of importance to all students of the subject. This book is in fact 'essential reading' for students of Indian social institutions. This revised edition includes three new appendixes which reflect the author's latest researches in the field.
