He may even take several wives in order to dispose of them in this way; thus adding to his importance and giving evidence of his "strong heart."[750] Among the Abipones divorces are as frequent "as changing of the dress in Europe." If "their wives displease them, it is sufficient; they are ordered to decamp." The husband's right is unrestrained by the law; but, "appointing a drinking-party, wherein the memory of injuries is refreshed in the minds of the intoxicated guests, the relations fiercely avenge the dishonor done to the repudiated wife."[751] The Tasmanian husband, when dissatisfied or when a liberal offer is made, may "transfer" his spouse like a slave; but in Luzon a divorce is more difficult, for the wedding gifts must be redistributed among the donors.[752] With "the ancient Hebrews, Greeks, Romans, and Germans, dislike was regarded as a sufficient reason for divorce."[753] Such is also the case on the island of Nias;[754] while among the Galela and Tobelorese the man may put away his wife on account of laziness; and elsewhere he may do the same because she is tiresome or because she lacks skill for household service.[755] [743] For these cases see WESTERMARCK, _op. cit._, 520-23; POST, _Familienrecht_, 253, 254; _idem_, _Afrikanische Jurisprudenz_, I, 433-36; _idem_, _Grundlagen_, 268, 269; FRIEDRICHS, "Familienstufen und Eheformen," _ZVR._, X, 251, 252; KOHLER, "Studien," _ibid._, V, 340, 341 (Mongols and Tunguse); _idem_, "Ueber das Recht der Koreaner," _ibid._, VI, 403; and LETOURNEAU, _L'évolution du mariage_, 286 ff., 289 ff.
