Jocano (1968:p154)[1]states that most girls are chaste before
their first marriage. There is no trial mating, and no dormitory system.
Child marriages were
common in some places, but fast disappearing in others (p154, 161). The
children could be betrothed at age eight
or nine, and married at puberty.
