passage 5
    why do men have to pay for brides in some cultures, while in others women must havedowries in order to marry?
    the price a man must pay for a wife varies form culture to culture. in east africansocieties where cattle are the primary currency, a bride can be worth anywhere from 5 to 50cows, depending on the particular society and its resources. men elsewhere trade pigs, goats,shells, metal tools, such as axes and knives, or money for wives. these payments called thebride-price, or bride-wealth, are given to the bride's male relatives by the groom and his malerelatives.
    in many societies where the bride brings dowry to the marriage, however, 'there is noexchange of wealth between families; the wife's dowry--land, household furnishings orjewelry--typically remains her own property.
    it seems then, that men buy wives but women don't buy husbands. why is this? and whatis it that makes some women worth more than others?
    in about half the societies studied by anthropologists, men must pay for wives. these aregenerally patrilineal (~ ~) societies, where wealth is passed down from father to son. bride-price, also called bride-wealth, does not occur as often in matrilineal societies, and men pass ontheir wealth to their sisters' sons.
    are women worth less in these societies? "there is no human society in which women arenot considered valuable," says the university of washington anthropologist, pierre van denberghe, "they are the only means available to the male for passing on his genes."
    the men in a patrilineal society are willing to pay a very high price for nubile (可以结婚的) virgins (处女). "with the bride-wealth, you purchase a woman's future fertility," says vanden berghe. if a woman already has children, she may command less bride-wealth, and if sheturns out to be infertile, her family returns the husband's payment. some anthropologists thinkbride-wealth should really be called child-wealth.
