First is Joketsuzoku custom, law in China in general?  (The Chinese govt
has a history of seeing diplomatic contacts with parts of China (say
Taiwan) very poorly)

Second, the ceremony has ALREADY been held in Joketsuzoku, in front of
the entire village.  Ranma formally challenged Shamp and won.  From that
moment on, they were married. (At least in Joketsuzoku, after Ranma's
true nature was revealed)

Third, if Ranma was to marry Akane at this point, their marriage would
be recognised in China in general (by this treaty), but not
Joketsuzoku. (It might make visiting the springs a mite difficult...)

Fourth, can sisters in Joketsuzoku marry the same man? (Given the global
shortage of strong men)  If so, how would Akane and Ukyou feel about
being adopted into Shamp's family?  (How's that for neatly tieing up the
relationships?  It leaves Tofu to run the Dojo, but nothing's perfect)
