Marriage
Marriage is prompted by pregnancy, arranged at birth, and not between up to 2 people.
Initiating or arranging a marriage is usually a father's' role, and not a feminine role. Marriages usually include legal paperwork signing, and not mock attempts to buy back one of the marriage parties.
Funerary Rites
Death rites require sacrificing people to accompany the deceased, clergical supervision, and often more than 13 days seclusion for kin. Bodies are buried in a river.
