Campbell #9 p101: excerpts from honour, family and patronage- a study of. Institutions and moral values in a greek mountain community. The solidarity of the corporate family is symbolized in the idea of blood. In marriage a man and woman mix their different blood to produce one blood which is the blood of their children. For the sarakatsani, the blood which the children inherits is the physical and moral attributes that form their social personalities. In the sarakatsani there are 2 instances of divorce neither cases had marriages were carried out: the father of the husband advised his son not to have intercourse with the bride because she was coughing and expectorating blood. She was returned back to her father with the dowry: the bride discovered after the wedding ceremony that the bridegroom had a cleft palate.
