9790. THE FIRST PLANET OUT IN SPACE WHICH I HAVE SEEN - continued

I was also allowed to see several inhabitants who belonged to the lower ranks of society; their clothing was like that worn by peasants in Europe. I also saw a man and woman together. She had a beautifully upright figure and lovely movement of the body; and so did the man. But what astonished me was the fact that he walked majestically, with a seemingly proud step, whereas the woman in contrast to him walked with a humble step. Angels told me that this was the custom on that planet, and that men like the one I saw were loved because they were nevertheless good. They went on to tell me that the men were not permitted to have several wives, because polygamy was contrary to their laws.
