Rights and Responsibilities of the Timawa
[edit ]- As free men who were more than servants but less than nobility, members of the Timawa class were free to pick their jobs - as soldiers, merchants, etc. They were also free to pick their own wives. They could have servants (alipin), and own property such as land or houses of their own. Consequently, this was the only social class for whom tax payment was required.
Thank you for adding these facts. I seem to recall this from my elementary history lessons. Would you by any chance have a definitive source that indicates these facts? I'm pretty sure Scott covers them as well, but I haven't really had all that time to review his book more. Besides, we could use more references here. :-) I will also add a few more references very soon, to corroborate scott. Alternativity 13:40, 23 July 2007 (UTC) [reply ]
Timawa related to datu/maginoo class?
[edit ]So basically if a Timawa (not including the lower timawa classes) were to have relationships with the children of the datu or any of the princesses illegitimate children, would that be considered incest?! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.147.20.110 (talk) 07:08, 30 June 2017 (UTC) [reply ]
