Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history and meaning behind the often-overlooked symbol of capture found in marriage ceremonies, a tradition that has appeared in a variety of cultures across the globe. The author approaches the subject with a groundbreaking perspective, examining instances of this symbol and its significance. Through detailed analysis and examples, the author reveals the origins of this custom, which can be traced back to a time when wives were systematically taken by force or theft. This symbol, prevalent among endogamous tribes, reflects a stage in societal development where exogamy, or the practice of marrying outside one's own group, was common. The book further explores the connection between the form of capture and the rise of female kinship systems, shedding light on the evolution of marriage and family structures. This in-depth study provides valuable insights into the development of human societies and offers a fresh perspective on the origins of marriage customs.
