(Nuba, Shilluk, Bari, Dinka, Baja, Dogons, Yoruba, Mandari; ®Zande) Seligman and Seligman (1928:p447)[1]: “A man will sometimes engage to marry a child unborn if it should be a girl. If the girl dies another girl-child may be substituted […]”. “When the bride price has been paid […] the man can have intercourse with his future wife, but only in the father’s house which the young man visits daily; this is not allowed unless the girl has passed the age of puberty”.
