This difference of opinion on the matter has made for great RP between my Keeper boy and other Miqo'te. I'm only stating that finding monogamy among traditional Miqo'te, Keeper or Seeker, is hard to swallow from a logical standpoint.
I would counter that if Monagamy were such an alien concept to the Miqote(vs particular miqote enclaves) we wouldn't see them easily slipping into cross racial relationships. Similarly we see a clear monagamous romantic relationship in the Arcanist quests cross clan.
Now this could be symbolic of the fact that the miqote of the cities have thrown off the ways of their ancestors, that they have adapted and assimilated. It could mean that the tribal ways are dying(such is implied even in the Forgotten springs line).
Perhaps that could be a point of division those who want to keep to the "logical" and those who find it outdated and primative.
