Cannibal traditions

Engagement:
Give her/him a skull cross to protect against spirits. If she/he says yes, he/she gives you one too.

Marriage:
Let's not go into details, but it needs an agreement from Elder Cannibal and some sacrifice to the skygods.

Divorce:
Woman eats up the male.

Sounds interesting.
Do expound a bit more Elder Cook, this marriage is new to me.

Oh marriage?

Easy peasy. After we were disbanded into void people started to actually consider longer relations than: "We copulated, I eat you now".
Marriage is the outsider word for it. We call it "rahmu weeyagr" = "bonded people". It is a pretty vague term, as you can marry more than one man/woman...

It wouldn't happen to refer to the 500 metre length of braided jute tied to eachother's ankles, would it? I imagine some of those who eat every part of their meat might be interested in marring both men and women.

Hmmmm... should both parties agree before I agree?

Naturally, Altough in our culture the other party isn't often asked whether it wants to become a dinner or not.
Marriage is different. There you practically share the meat with someone special, and therefore both parties' agreement is essential.

Elder Cannibal's blessing is a must, though. He in his wisdom will oversee whether they are suitable for each other, or is the other one just trying to get a dinner through divorce.

Mill said to me that cannibals are hard to understand. I can't get why.

Edit: And jute rope has nothing to do with marriage. It is reserved to carriage purposes or getting fresh meat to Rakmogak.

What about cannibal funerals? Do the deceased get eaten?

I'm pretty sure I am inanimate proof that they first get covered in a mask, and then placed inside the bone-filled caverns. And then quickly eaten by naughty children.

Funerals? Aren't they festive occassions?
