For further examples of easy divorce among the Indians see TURNER, "Ethnology of the Ungava District," _ibid._, XI, 270 (Nenenot); _Report Smith. Inst._, 1885, 71 (Pawnees marry and unmarry at pleasure); ANCHIETA, "Informação," _Revist. Trim. Hist._, VIII, 254-62 (the woman leaves the man at pleasure in Brazil). 2. Passing to the opposite extreme, there are peoples with whom marriage is a relation absolutely indissoluble. Sometimes this is the case on sacramental grounds, implying usually considerable progress in religious ideas;[737] but it is also true of peoples standing on a very low plane of culture, such as certain of the Papuas of New Guinea, the Veddahs[738] of Ceylon, or the Niassers of Batu, where death alone is sufficient to dissolve the marriage bond.[739] [737] The old Indie law does not recognize a proper divorce, though the husband may "supersede" his wife; but sometimes by the existing custom of Indian peoples it is allowed: KOHLER, in _ZVR._, III, 384, 386 ff.; VII, 236; XI, 169. _Cf._ FRIEDRICHS, _ibid._, X, 251; WESTERMARCK, _op. cit._, 525; LETOURNEAU, _op. cit._, 301, 302.

This rule applies, apparently, only to the Papuas of Geelvinkbai in New Guinea; elsewhere in that island the man may put away the woman at pleasure: KOHLER, "Ueber das Recht der Papuas auf Neu-Guinea," in _ZVR._, VII, 373.
