Pygmies were short-lived and usually took the form of exchange visits between interested families. The future groom will bring the gift of the game, or perhaps a few arrows to his new relatives, will take the bride home to live in his group and with his new parents. His only obligation is to find among his relatives a girl who is ready to marry his brother or cousin of his wife. If he feels that he can feed more than one wife, he may have additional wives.
