7. Social customs.

The Korwas do not admit outsiders into the tribe. They will take food

from a Gond or Kawar, but not from a Brahman. A man is permanently

expelled from caste for a liaison with a woman of the impure Ganda

and Ghasia castes, and a woman for adultery with any person other

than a Korwa. Women are tattooed with patterns of dots on the arms,

breasts and feet, and a girl must have this operation done before

she can be married. Neither men nor women ever cut their hair.
