So every Tia is a virgin? That doesn't seem like a very realistic prospect to me. Thoughts?
In theory, that'd be the case. In practice, there's probably "cheaters" who go around the system, homosexuality, and the like. In RL, in theory, no one who's in a standard, Western, monogamous marriage should sleep with someone outside of their marriage, but the statistics indicate otherwise.
There's also the possibility that non-procreative sex is okay, but since we don't know anything in lore about birth control, that's speculative at best. All we know from the lore is that the cultural norm is indeed that tia don't get to bed the females of the tribe.Of course, since this is a fairly grey area, you have the freedom, IMO, to write it as you like for your character's backstory.
