	Probably not.  Shampoo probably wasn't too careful about this 
when she came up with the plan.  

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...)

	Oh yes.  And the law *specifically* applies to Joketsuzoku...

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)

1. Good question.
2.  A bit leery, especially at first...
3.  Different...

SKJAM!
