Compare FRITSCH, _op. cit._, 112, 113, who says the "price varies from some six or seven oxen to thirty or more, if the daughter of a respectable chief is concerned." The price is usually paid in instalments; and, according to Fritsch, among the Kafirs the only thing which distinguishes a woman from cattle is the fact that her lord and master may not wantonly kill her or do her severe bodily hurt; for then the chief would demand the composition or blood-money. [607] In such case the father may return the woman to the husband with a part of the cattle; and thus the higgling will proceed till an agreement is reached: FRITSCH, _op. cit._, 143, 144; _cf._ RATZEL, _Hist. of Mankind_, II, 434 (Zulus), 370 (Bechuanas).

In case of the death of a husband who has made part payment for his wife, the son or other heir pays the balance due and takes the woman: _ibid._, 423, 424.
