Relationships
- Both monogamy and polygamy exist - one man to many women but not the other way around (subsequent reincarnation as the opposite sex equals the apparent inequality).

- There are virtually never any incompatible couples due to the use of advanced astrology and other social sciences.
- Thus there are virtually never any divorces on Erra and furthermore, all childrens' well-being is guaranteed.
