Babs Seed x Human Saga World View - Marriage

10. Marriage:

Marriage is not exactly the same as in the human world. It is more of a status thing, some sort of marking for the mare to tell other mares that she has the first spot to breed with the stallion and make other mares know that they need to go to the lead mare (she is usually the one getting married) and ask permission to buck the stallion.

The other thing is that is a form to establish ownership in a more material way. Meaning business wise and who will inherence what if some or both of the partners die.

So for the most part the nobility usually performs marriages, and that the usual party is stallion/mare but sometimes in rare cases it can be stallion/mare/mare. That way in a will that will be written during the marriage ceremony will say who will get what and other business deals before vows and rings/bracelets/feathers/other things are exchanged.

So it does not mean that the stallion is in a monogamous status and just have that mare or stallion.

Mares usually find loop holes or sneak around that common rule with asking the lead mare or “wife” for permission to let the stallion buck them, most finding the marriage status a challenge to overcome.

The same goes for the wife as she doesn’t have to be “faithful” to her husband. She can at ever giving time let the stallions brother, father, cousin or a complete stranger buck her silly.

So to summarize is that the marriage thing is more on the material plane and a way to make document, wills, deals and such. Also who to turn to when asking to join the herd and such.
