TOMET was first married to Manshum (Nokanokphong, Angban) and while he was still married to her, he married also Mendzei. Since Manshum had no children, he divorced her. She lives now in Angban (31). Manshum was always ill, therefore Tomet married Mendzei. Since he did not want to pay a fine to Manshum, he kept her in his house, but always quarrelled with her. At last he divorced her and paid the fine. It is genna for a Ben man to marry two women, therefore was a great excitement in Wakching.
