| text: | In informant's youth offenders were exiled from the village. Offences were: theft, adultery - in the case of adultery only the man was banished. Inf. cannot remember any fight between morungs. Only very serious cases of theft were punished by exile. If one man kills a man of his own village, he is driven very far away, but the kinsman of the victim will not be allowed to kill him in retaliation. |
