Love and Marriage VII

Ogres certainly aren't that civilized, but even they get "married".  When a male wants a female, usually he just takes her, if he has higher rank then the females family.  Sometimes he has to fight the males of the family to get the female.  Other times, especially chiefs, the males are smart enough to make alliances by offering to take a "useless" female off their hands.  There are no ceremonies, just the male basically telling the female she is his now.  Most of the time females don't fight back, but sometimes they do and either they end up dead or the family takes the male out.  If a chief is involved there is a big celebration of eating and drinking, but otherwise it is an uneventful event.
