Among the Gaika tribe of the Kafirs, however, “a man is fined for murder, if he kills an adulterer or adulteress in the act, although he be the husband of the adulteress” (Maclean, Compendium of Kafir Laws and Customs, p. 111). Among the Wakamba, “if a man is caught in adultery at night, the husband has a right to kill him; but if the injured man thus takes the law into his own hands in the daytime, he is dealt with as a murderer” (Decle, op. cit. p. 487).
