Excerpt from book: THE FORM OF MARRIAGE AND ITS EFFECT ON DIVORCE Having traced the origin of divorce in the primitive and transient nature of marriage, and noted some stages of its development in rude society, we now turn to see what bearing the various forms of marriage have upon divorce. That the family has always been what it is to-day, is held only by those who are unfamiliar with the history of the institution. In regard to ancient forms, Prof. Howard says: The complex phenomena of human sexual relations, have been examined in the light of scientific criticism and recent research. The result seems unmistakably to show that pairing has always been the typical form of human marriage. Early monogamy takes its rise beyond the borderland separating men from the lower animals. But considering the aberrations from the type, development has been in a circle. At the dawn of human history, individual marriage prevails, though the union is not always lasting. In later stages of advancement, under the influence of property, social organization, social distinctions, and the motives to which they give rise, various forms of polyandry and polygyny make their appearance, though monogamy as the type is never superseded.1 In substantial agreement with this idea, we find other statements of Howard,2 Spencer,3 Starcke, Westermarck,5/ and others. Polyandry and polygyny have frequently existed where the conditions of life have rendered them expedient, but 1 Op dt, vol. i, p. 150. 2 Ibid, vol. i, pp. 222-3. 8 Prin. of Soc, vol. i, pp. 684-5.

Polyandry is generally associated with sparse populations in unfriendly habitats. Fo.
