"Marginalized Reproduction: Ethnicity, Infertility and Reproductive Technologies""To ask a shaman to assist in fertility, a childless couple must go to the shaman's house where his altar is located, and request help formally. Once this is done, the shaman first holds a ritual, 'ua neeb saib' to determine the factor that contributes to the woman's childlessness, ascertaining whether she does not have 'a piece of paper', if she has been 'raug dab' (struck by spirits), or she has disrupted social relationships", s. 158.
