Edited film from the 1974 film project about the semi-nomadic Turkana pastoralists living in northwestern Kenya. The film explores how the Turkana, especially Turkana women, view marriage. The testimony of three sisters is presented followed by the unfolding plans for a marriage in a neighboring homestead. In the course of these plans an insider's view is communicated about why a woman would want her husband to take a second wife and how the system of polygymy can be a source of solidarity among women and at the same time result in a disregard for the feelings of individuals. Includes sound recordings, transcriptions and translations.
