In the article on Limbus, "adultery" was said to be a Limbu form of marriage. While adultery can certainly result in a Limbu man and woman being forced to become "man and wife", this certainly was never an acceptable form of marriage. It is safe to assert that adultery is prevalent everywhere but is not an acceptable form of marriage anywhere. Adulterous Limbu couples would be ostracized by Limbu society and, in many cases, forced to migrate from their villages to neighbouring India. Therefore, I edited the "adultery" bit.

The ethnographic map posted here is debatable. I have seen this map before and it does not seem to represent the ethnic diversity accurately. Perhaps it will be better to replace it with Dr. Harka Gurung's ethnographic map. He was an authority in this subject.
