The Chiru and Chawte customs are alike; not only is a young man's choice limited to some family in the clan other than his own, but the actual families from which he may choose his bride are strictly fixed. Among the Chiru-- A Danla lad may marry a Dingthoi or Shangpa girl. A Dingthoi lad may marry a Chongdur or Danla girl. A Rezar lad may marry a Danla girl. A Shangpa lad may marry a Dingthoi or Danla girl. A Chongdur lad may marry a Danla girl. Danla is the family from which the khul-lakpa must be taken, and Rezar has already been noticed as the son of Chongthu, from whom the Chiru claim descent. Among the Chawte-- A Marem lad may only marry a Makhan girl. A Makhan lad may only marry an Irung girl. A Kiang lad may only marry a Makhan or Marem girl. An Irung lad may only marry a Marem, Thao, or Kiang girl. A Thao lad may only marry a Makhan girl. Among the Aimol, Anal, Chiru, and Purum, a young man has to serve his future wife's father for three years, during which he works as if he were a son of the house. During this period he has free access to the girl, though among the Chiru he continues to sleep among the bachelors. Should the girl become enceinte the marriage ceremony must be performed, and the price paid. Among the Aimol the bride's eldest brother gets Rs. 6/- and each of the others one rupee less than his immediate senior. The paternal and maternal uncles receive Rs. 2/- each; the aunt and the elder sister also receive Rs. 1/- each as "niman" and "nao-puan-puk-man," as among the Lushais. Among the Anal and the Purum, the price must not be less than a pig and a piece of iron a cubit in length, but the girl's relatives try to get as much more as they can. The bridegroom has also to feast the family of his bride three times on pork, fowls, and rice, washed down, of course, with plenty of zu. The Chiru girls are only valued at one gong. Among the other clans, marriage is by simple purchase. A Chawte maiden can be obtained for a spear, a dao, and a fowl, the payment being sealed by the consumption of much zu. The price of a Kolhen girl is a gong and Rs. 7/- to her mother, and Rs. 7/- each to the elder and younger brother and the maternal uncle. This is most curious, for the father is entirely omitted. Can it be a survival of mother right? The Kom girls are valued very high, the father receiving one gong, four buffaloes, fifteen cloths, a hoe, and a spear, the aunt taking a black and white cloth. A Lamgamg bridegroom has to pay his father-in-law three pigs or buffaloes or cows, one string of conch shell beads, one lead bracelet, and one black or blue petticoat. A Tikhup father expects a gong, ten hoes, one dao, and one spear; the maternal grandfather also demands Rs. 7/-.
