Since the early part of the twentieth century, African ethnologists (EvansPritchard i93i; Goody I973; Gray I960; Radcliffe-Brown I95o; Schneider 1957) have periodically re-examined bridewealth. The present paper considers the culturally adaptive possibilities of bridewealth as a factor in adjusting domestic structure to changing climatic conditions among the Barma, an ethnic group who were politically dominant in the emirate of Baguirmi in Chad
