Inu mayi (There was a woman)
Performer / Recordist
Description / content note
A woman had a daughter and was very keen on inviting men to take her daughter in order to get money for her. She did this with 3 or 4 different men and the people of the village said, "You are very bad to do this as these men will start quarraling because of your daughter." It will be noticed that the moral question of giving her daughter to several different men one after the other does not arise. Only the fact that the men may be jealous of each other and so quarrel.
