[752] BONWICK, _Daily Life and Origin of the Tasmanians_, 73, 74. The Tasmanian woman, he adds, even when divorced "was by no means free, as the tribe exercised jurisdiction" in her "affairs and the disposal of her person. She soon came under bondage again to another man, though perhaps to a younger than her first affianced one; as the young fellows were in most instances supplied with their first partners from the overflowing establishments of their seniors, or by the grant of a cast-off bit of property."

[755] "In den Gallareichen kann der Mann die Frau verstossen, weil sie ihm langweilig geworden oder zu den häuslichen Geschäften nicht tauglich ist. Will er dagegen keine Scheidung, sondern nur Trennung, so ergiebt sich die Frau der Prostitution und kann vom Gatten für sich und ihre illegitimen Kinder Wohnung und die nöthigen Nahrungsmittel beanspruchen."--POST, _Familienrecht_, 253, 254. In New Caledonia, likewise, the wife may be put away because she bores her husband: LETOURNEAU, _op. cit._, 285. Under the existing law of Islâm the woman has gained a limited right of divorce. By the form called _chol_ she may buy her release; and in this case "a restoration of the marriage bond is impossible." Again, for certain specified faults of the husband, she is granted a separation through _fasch_, or judicial decree.[756] On the other hand, by _li'an_, or solemn oath before the _cadi_, a husband is able to put away the spouse whom he believes to be unfaithful;[757] but in general the right of the man to reject the woman without assigning any cause whatever is absolutely unrestrained. The great majority of divorces among Moslem peoples take the form of _talâq_, or repudiation. It is only necessary for the husband who is tired of his wife to say to her "_mutállaka_," "Thou art dismissed."[758] In harmony with the old Arabian custom the procedure by _talâq_ may consist of a "triple declaration" or three successive divorces. After the first pronouncement of the formula the repudiated woman remains three months in her harem at the man's cost, and he is at liberty to take her back if he will. Indeed, a single tender glance or word of concession is sufficient to restore the marriage. Should he not reclaim her until the specified term is passed, he may then do so only in case she has not already taken a new husband, and by paying her a "second time the full amount of the morning-gift as stipulated at their marriage." A second or even a third separation from the same wife may be had by repetition of this process; but
