I feel it's a duty in the non-obligatory sense. A female might be socially pressured to bear children by family members/the elders but I have reservations with the idea that they have no choice, it makes no sense to treat the females with such a lack of respect towards their own, free will without punishing them/casting them out of the tribe.
As for the nuhn, well sure he can potentially sleep with numerous women but it's not like impregnating many women at once is a very good idea, not these days at least. I can't possibly view it like a "harem" scenario because I imagine that everyone would regard the title with great respect. It represents the strongest(male at least) hunter in the tribe but he has no place making a game of it and if people deemed that someone were too irresponsible to hold the title then that would be considered a blemish against his name in spite of his strength.Â
Viewing it in such a shallow sense feels like a more modern sense of thinking where young people are culturally conditioned to make light of casual sex. A tribe has serious responsibilities as well as a particular way of thinking and acting that is isolated from the majority of the civilized world.

Quote:"Wow, permission and approval to sleep with several different women and have no-one bat an eye... sounds great!"
...a tia's view on the matter might probably be more like:
Quote:"Acknowledgement as the finest hunter and the honour of passing on 'my' own line to our tribe's next generation. I hope that I can someday earn myself such a blessing."
