Turney-High (1941 [1969:p126])^{^[1]}^[60] states that chiefs agree that children’s chastity training is “complete” and effective. The rape of girls would not be met with positive punishment, since “if she had remained in her own lodge at night such a thing could not have taken place”. The rights and duties of marriage were lectured from age five or six (p131). Girls’ house-playing (p118) nevertheless probably lacked an explicit element despite the general realism enforced by the mother.
