Saiyan Marriages
It wouldn't surprise me if Saiyan marriages were rare historically. Toriyama said that Saiyan's 'Might' not have much of a concept of family. The key word here is "Might". So the way I see it is that that particular detail is open to speculation and interpretation.

Re: Saiyan Marriages
Saiyans probably never practiced the act of marriage within their society, it would have served little purpose with hazardous battles always on the horizon and how the only degree of intimacy among Saiyans was to mate, sometimes for life as with Bardock & Gine. However, as shown with species on worlds without constant military conflict, marriage exists as noted by various male & female aliens mentioning a husband or wife.

Re: Saiyan Marriages
Vegeta used the term wife once. And Toriyama did say Saiyans do marry. But you do make a valid point.

Re: Saiyan Marriages
I see just royal marriage being a big thing.

Re: Saiyan Marriages
if they have no concept of family then they have no concept of marriage

Re: Saiyan Marriages
Given what we have been shown, marriage in the Saiyan culture is probably uncommon.
Most likely, Saiyans just fool around with those they find attractive but don't generally form long-lasting relationships.
Them being a warrior race prone to die young and often travelling on various planets is likely a factor.
once in a while, though, some Saiyan would find another they get particularly well along, and end up living together more often than not, probably stopping looking for other partners. That's likely what a Saiyan marriage looked like on planet Vegeta.

Yeah I agree with that. We don't know how uncommon it is. But your hypothesis makes sense.ankokudaishogun wrote: ↑Sun Nov 17, 2019 5:13 pm Given what we have been shown, marriage in the Saiyan culture is probably uncommon.

Re: Saiyan Marriages
The Royal family would have to produce heirs and they would need to be offical if the royalty is like all other lines of succession. I can see King Vegeta being married/bonded/officially mated and then other unions being hook ups.
My personal head canon is that elites were more civilized personally.
Vegeta agreed to marry Bulma pre Buu saga as well which leads me to believe that it's something that saiyans knew about even if they had a different word and ceremony.
Re: Saiyan Marriages
Yeah they probably did. But who says it wasn't Vegeta that asked Bulma to marry him?miguelnuva1 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 17, 2019 7:00 pmThe Royal family would have to produce heirs and they would need to be offical if the royalty is like all other lines of succession.

Re: Saiyan Marriages
Only a reminder to get in the right mindset to discuss this matter. People often speak about Saiyas as if they were a long and established ancient culture. They are not. The habitation of planet Vegeta has less than three centuries, and Freezer's domination has been ongoing no more than five years before planet Vegeta destruction, and as though we don't know much of them in the manga/Toriyama canon, the anime canon portrays them as having regressed from a space-capable race to little more than cavemen firstly, and thugs (albeit more or less civilized) afterwards.
The thing said in this thread about the elites seems to be correct, as they seems more civilized than the low class.

Re: Saiyan Marriages
DBS shows that actually Saiyans weren't Cavemen Vegeta said that the clothes Cabba was wearing looked familiar as the Saiyans had dressed that way before they were enslaved. So actually they were a long established species on their original homeworld. But not one on Planet Vegeta. Also Frieza didn't enslave them, it was his father and Leek said that King Cold's annexation had occured a pretty long time ago.

That's correct, I'll check if its an anime-only / Toei continuity retcon or if it's also stated in the Toyo-tori manga.
And the second tibdit would apply to manga continuity, as is from DBSBroly, isn't it?
