Price of a Wife in Natal Court Case
A Natal case involves an Indian suing another for 85 dollars on a loan note. It emerged the 85 was the price of a wife sold by the plaintiff to the defendant. The defendant, out of work, declined installments and the plaintiff then sold the wife for 60 dollars to a new buyer. The defendant argued the second sale discharged him from the loan. The magistrate adjourned the case.
