Mother-In-Law in New Britain.

In the islands of New Britain a man must not speak to his mother-in-law. Not only is speech forbidden to this relative but she must be avoided; and if by any chance the lady is met, the Bon-in-law must hide himself or cover his face. Suicide of both parties is the outcome if the rule is broken.
