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... rolleyes.gif

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.

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.

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.
