Toes: The woman's toes which are soft, thick, round and well developed are considered auspicious. If the toes are long, she will be of loose morals. Thin toes indicate poverty. Other effects about the toes are as under — Short: short life. Short and long (of different sizes) and irregular in shape: procuress and guileful. Flat: maid servant. Spaced more than average: bereft of wealth. Toes overlapping one over the other: widow and dependent on others. If the dust is thrown up when she walks: unchaste and brings defame to all the three families (of her father, of her mother, of her husband). If the smallest toe does not touch the ground: will destroy her husband and marry another. If the middle toe and the one next to it does not touch the ground: widow. First toe (next to great toe) longer than the great toe: will develop illicit connection with a man before marriage and will be of loose morals.
