Is polygamy allowed in the Albedo universe? (pg. 360)

I'm thinking that the situation is more about Dea Kho (hope I got the name right) not being able to have children, and has decided a family with Karema will be sufficient to fill that gap in their lives. Looks like polygamy is acceptable to me. See page 207 - Itzak gets lucky by "answering" a contract. There seems to be contracts for mates put out all the time. I would suggest that relationships are far more open in the Albedo universe than ours.

I imagine that it must be a variation of the Islamic system, where a man can have several wives, with the only difference here that it can be a man or a woman, and they can be from different or the same sex, I think. With regard to Dea and the Hitzoks, how could Dea have children with Onni, if she is a Vulpine and he is a Canine? I understand that foxes are related to wolves and dogs, but I've never heard of a dog or wolf who mates with a fox, as far as I understand. (And before anyone asks, in the Albedo universe people of different species can't bear children with each other)

interesting discussion either way you look at it :)

Even here, you don't need a 3 way marriage. Just a couple and a live in friend. With benefits. There isn't much protection for #3, but it beats living alone.
