Description

Excerpt from Historical Sketches of the South of India, in an Attempt to Trace the History of Mysoor, From the Origin of the Hindoo Government of That State, to the Extinction of the Mohammedan Dynasty in 1799, Vol. 3 The account here given of the manners of the women of Malabar, corresponds in its principal features, with the narratives of all the voyagers, and this inversion of the usual acceptation of polygamy, has produced strange theories, founded on very questionable facts. In hot climates, according to Montesquieu, females are marriageable at eight, nine, or ten years of age, and they are old at twenty: when beauty de mands the empire, the want of reason forbids the claim.
