      Yes. Why do you think I got married? I need my wife’s family to back me for the blood feud with my neighbors over his McDuchy (which de jure belongs to me) that’s been ongoing for 3 generations

      marriage is older than feudal which makes it patriarchal

      it's an institution that dates back to when people were legally owned by their dad

      although the concept of it being bad to murder your neighbour also dates back about that far so that isn't necessarily a criticism
