sociological ramifications of an affinal bond. A houseyard whose daughters have all been captured and whose sons have all captured discarded outsiders, remains unallianced. Its relatively simple organization works to its disadvantage in public affairs of status.
Ngerorod represents 'complex' marriages by individual preference which are not defined by marriage class or classificatory genealogical position.' This complex field sets Bali's other marriage types into figured relief. Individual unions are implicitly advocated in rituals of capture; they are not merely the neutral absence of a more distinct type of marriage. This prevents our viewing Balinese marriage preferences
exclusively as rules for interrelating groups or categories, even though some preferences do indeed refer to specific genealogical positions and social categories. In Leach's terms, marriage by capture involves 'persons acting as private individuals. But they do so according to cultural guidelines, gratifying inducements in competition with other inducements that oblige individuals to act as members of groups
or as representatives of categories. Informants explain capture marriage as love (Ind. cinta) winning out.

in Bali we must point out a very important distinction which the Balinese make between two clearly separate groups of ancestors. The first of these groups consists of the dead who are riot yet completely purified. This group is in turn subdivided in pirata, those riot yet cremated, and pitara, those already cremated. The former are still completely impure; the latter have been purified, but are still considered as distinct, individual souls. The second group consists of the completely purified ancestors who are considered as divine.
No contact is sought with the pirata, the dead who have not yet been cremated. Oil the contrary they are dangerous, Offerings must however be made for the redemption of their souls.
