[QUOTE="CMGuest, post: 378197"] She says nothing of the sort. She says that you have no say in who Kinu [I]marries[/I]. Under Kitsune custom, the couple have a say, and the head of household gets a say, and such unions are more political than they are romantic, especially considering Kinu's pedigree. To put that in perspective, by her own characterization, that Kinu - the bride-to-be herself - is actually enamored of her betrothed is a welcome [I]bonus[/I] that was technically optional. In this respect we can see parallels with the matchmaking tradition seen in the likes of Fiddler of the Roof. In fact, based on her description of how it usually goes, it's almost a dead ringer minus the politicking. The matchmaker acts as an intermediary, and as head of the household it's Tevye's decision whether or not it happens. If his daughter likes the man she's matched with, so much the better. But by tradition it's not necessary. And returning to the politicking, you don't get a say because the marriage is functionally a formalization of an alliance between two clans. Heck, if you have Inari Kinu, we see that even Kiyoko's personal preferences take a backseat to this fact. She isn't slighting your role as parent by saying that you get no say in who your daughter marries. At absolute worst she's saying that because you're someone outside the culture who married into her clan, you don't have the political standing in that culture to broker an alliance with other clans (much less the knowledge of how best to do so).
