Abstract
RECENT investigation in situ among the different tribes of Assam has led me to think that the hitherto accepted theories on the origin of levirate seem to be untenable in this area. This institution varies so widely from area to area, and the theories propounded so far being based on materials from different countries, that a separate explanation for Assam is needed.
