I believe the precise law is that if an outsider male defeats an Amazon
woman, he must marry her. It didn't say anything about non-outsider males,
and it just said defeat leads to marriage; it didn't say marriage requires
defeat.

That's always bugged me about stories where Mousse can marry Shampoo if

her, why are they in charge? Why is it "The Village of the Amazons"
instead of "The Village of The Wife Beaters"?
