This chapter examines a debate over family, marriage, gender and colonialism during the 1950s. Given that the debaters were appointed chiefs and other male members of a local elite, that they lived in an economy of long-distance labour migration, and that their purpose was the codification of family law, it might be expected to have produced resolute defense of patriarchy. Why the debate instead produced indecision and division is the question addressed in this chapter
