Why could loss of cattle affect marriage, relations and prestige in Maasai society?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because cattle were linked with social exchange, marriage relations and honour

In Maasai society, cattle were not merely a source of milk, meat or livelihood; they were also a form of wealth and social prestige. Livestock mattered in marriage arrangements, gift exchange and social relationships. Therefore, losing cattle could reduce a family's economic capacity as well as affect its status and marriage relations. Option C is incorrect because cattle were closely connected with Maasai social life. Exam tip: remember both the economic and social importance of livestock in pastoral societies.
