An editorial article in the Indian Medical Gazette of Sept., 1890, says: "The appearance of menstruation is held by the great majority of natives of India to be evidence and proof of marriageability, but among the Hindu community it is considered disgraceful that a girl should remain unmarried until this function is established.
According to this system, the community being divided into groups, terms of relationship indicate not kinship in blood but tribal status in respect of marriageability; thus, the same term is used for a child's real father and for every man who might legally have become the husband of his mother, and the same term for the real mother and for every woman whom the father might have married; the children of such possible fathers and mothers are the child's brothers and sisters; all possible spouses are called a man's "wives" or a woman's "husbands"; and similarly with all relationships.
POST-SIMIAN. Pertaining to an age later than that in which simian or monkey-like forms prevailed. PRENUBILE. Pertaining to the age before sexual maturity or marriageability is reached. PRIE DIEU. A praying desk. PROPEDEUTIC. Preliminary; introductory. PROPHYLACTIC. Any medicine or measure efficacious in preventing disease.
