TASK I (20 marks)
Marriage, Family, and Kinship in Cameroon
Marriage. Among many ethnic groups, first
marriages historically were arranged with
varying degrees of veto power by the potential
bride and groom, but individual choice
stressing companionship is becoming more
common. Most southern groups prefer
exogamous marriage, while the Fulani tend to
be endogamous. Polygyny is a goal within
many groups but is not always financially
attainable. Some women prefer small-scale
polygyny for the company and mutual aid a
co-wife might provide.
Domestic Unit. Domestic organization varies
widely throughout Cameroon. Rural Bibliography
polygynous compounds are composed of a
male head of a household surrounded by his
wives and their children. Wives and children
usually sleep in separate dwellings within the
compound. In both urban and rural areas,
child-rearing by a close relative (a kind of
foster arrangement) is common.
Inheritance. The organization of kinship
varies widely, as do local rules of inheritance.
The inheritance of land is often separated from
that of movable property. The inheritance of
wives may serve as a form of old-age
insurance for women without grown children,
since marriage provides access to land.
Among many groups, traditional titles and
honors may be inherited.
Kin Groups. Most northern groups, such as
the Fulani, are patrilineal. The kinship
organization of most Grassfielders, Bamileke,
and Bamoun is variously described as
patrilineal or dual descent. The Kom of the
Grassfields are a notable matrilineal
exception. Most forest peoples arc patrilineal.
