Hindu Law and Custom (Recht und Sitte) c7.810

c7.810

Only later authors like Nār. 13, 40, Bṛh. 8, 5 refer to the authentication of a partition by a document (*vibhāgapattra*). A disputed partition may also be ascertained by circumstantial evidence, such as if the relations perform the domestic sacrifices and their businesses separately, if each of them has his own household or if they possess movable and immovable properties and slaves separately, or give evidence for one another and go security for one another, which is allowed only to those relations who have divided their properties, etc.
