NOTE. The fees of practitioners vary according to the gravity of the disease and the duration of the cure. A doctor’s fee (mhela) seldom exceeds one cow for a female patient and one bull for a male patient. The practitioner can only expect to be paid his or her fee if the patient recovers; but the payment of simba nti and shilatu is required from every patient; these fees usually amount to one or two shillings.

B. This heifer has to be paid by the husband, even if his wife’s skill has been acquired during married life, if he wishes to obtain the right to the property acquired by the wife.

C. If husband and wife have jointly purchased cattle, house, or commodities, these possessions become the property of the husband, if no agreement before witnesses has been concluded.

255. The divorced wife has no claim to food in store or to crops in the field.
