Description

"Marriage is primarily regarded as a cooperative union in which the couple form a self-sufficient economic unit. together they can accomplish all the tasks necessary for survival: clearing and planting new fields, hunting, fishing, gathering, house-building, cooking and child rearing. Even when more than one couple lives in a settlement-and this is the usual case-each married couple performs these tasks separately, rather than forming work groups based on gender. Some jobs tend to be regarded as predominantly female or male tasks, but there is nothing that structurally prevents overlap. Hunting is the main male domain and food preparation and child-rearing the female one."
