DescriptionThis recording was made in Cancuc. A family is interviewed about how people used to fall in love in earlier days and how they do it now. They also explain the ways of asking for the hand of a woman in the traditional fashion, how they used to test the men before delivering the woman to them, and what expenses they had to bear. They briefly comment on how they used to live in earlier times and about the redivision of lands.
