The wedding ceremonial and festivities are less marked; the customary time of seclusion after the nuptials is shorter; the bride-price is much smaller; or the wife has a less advantageous position with respect to property.[822] On the other hand, the widow or divorced woman who will remarry has sometimes an important compensation for the loss of social prestige, since she may freely bestow her hand in choosing a second mate.[823] [813] Thus, among the Moors of Morocco, who almost all practice monogamy, the man who rejects his wife is not permitted to marry again within four months: POST, _Afrikanische Jurisprudenz_, I, 450. [814] _Cf._ the suggestion of POST, _loc. cit._ [815] See the examples enumerated in POST, _Familienrecht_, 264; _idem_, _Afrikanische Jurisprudenz_, I, 453; among them are the people of Tonga, Tahiti, and Unyoro; also Dawan (West Timor) when the divorce is through the fault of the husband.

[818] Thus in the African Sarae the divorced woman must wait two months before remarriage: MUNZINGER, _Ostaf. Studien_, 387; among the Beni Amer, three months; while the Marea woman is obliged to refrain for a year: _ibid._, 241, 321. [819] See especially on Arabian divorce, SMITH, _Kinship and Marriage_, 91 ff., who emphasizes the effect of wife-purchase. Compare POST, _Familienrecht_, 263. Among the Kabyles of Algiers for mistreatment the woman has the right of "insurrection;" she may return to her father's house; but without the consent of her husband she cannot remarry: LETOURNEAU, _L'évolution du mariage_, 295. _Cf._ HANOTEAU ET LETOURNEUX, _Kabylie_, II, 159, 164, 177 ff. The custom of insurrection appears to be general in Islam: HELLWALD, _Die mensch. Familie_, 409. [820] SMITH, _op. cit._, 93.

[823] _Ibid._, 455. Sometimes, as among the equatorial tribes of West Africa, the widow shows a repugnance to second marriage: returning to her family, she never marries again: _ibid._, 456. Perhaps as a general rule the divorced man and woman are as free to remarry each other as they are to contract a second marriage with other persons;[824] but sometimes the reunion is dependent upon the observance of special legal formalities, or it can take place only after a fixed interval.[825] In rare instances, as among the ancient Aztecs, the remarriage of a divorced couple is absolutely forbidden.[826] [824] POST, _Familienrecht_, 265; _idem_, _Afrikanische Jurisprudenz_, I, 453, 454.
