Consequences[]
- People always appreciate having the freedom to do as they choose.
- Remember, the clan ring retains the say in whether someone may marry or not. Many times marriages are determined for economic or political gain. This may cause hard feelings if the bride dislikes her fiance.
- Everyone likes a good wedding, and holding a contest for the bride's hand can even raise relations with neighboring clans.
- Outright refusal is also the ring's perogative, but engenders ill-will, both within the clan and without.
