| Child labour and the persistence of the traditional practices of levirate and sororate violate basic human rights. |
| Junior sororates are allowed. Age at marriage for males is between 20 and 22 years and for girls two to four years after puberty. |

| Marriage within the same clan is prohibited. However, levirates and sororates are prevalent among the Kurumbas. Widow marriage is permitted. |
