In Indonesia,[REF] among the Nias, according to Loeb citing Neumann from 1886, "the only restriction which the husband had to observe is that he was not allowed to sell his wife outright",[REF] but was allowed to "pawn her as a pledge for his debts" [REF].
Among the Kaffirs, as studied in the Cape Colony by the South African government in 1883,[REF] "the husband cannot sell his wife nor ill-treat her";[REF] divorce exists but is rare [REF].
