ii, 132 f.).  Manucci states that there were more
    than thirty thousand women in the palace of Shah Jahan at Dheli,
    and that he usually had two thousand women of different races in his
    zenana (Storia de Major, i. 195, ii. 330).  Tippoo Sultan of
    Mysore married nine hundred women (Jaffur Shurreef, Qanoon-e-Islam,
    93).

[5] There in evidence that infanticide did prevail among some Musalman
    tribes.  Where actual infanticide has disappeared, it has often been
    replaced by neglect of female infants, except in those castes where,

    Census of India, 1911, i. 216 ff; Panjab, 1911, i. 231.

[7] No record of this proclamation has been traced in the histories of the

[8] The bride is often selected by praying for a dream in sleep, by
    manipulating the rosary, or by opening the Koran at random, and
    reading the first verse which comes under the eye.  Another method is
    to ascertain to which of the elements—­fire, air, earth, water—­the
    initials of the names of the pair correspond.  If these agree, it is
    believed that the engagement will be prosperous.—­Jaffur Shurreef,
    Qanoon-e-Islam, 37.

    young wife, and, therefore, my thus designating her here is premature.

    bridegroom are samdhan to each other.]
