The Right of the Husband

The Right of the Husband, or the Husbands Right for short, is an extinct Pithian practice where a groom has the choice to select a male guest to bed his bride before he does.
== Doctrine ==
The practice is an ancient one, believed to be ten thousand years old. It was considered a blessing for a warlord or hero to bestow his seed upon a bride on her wedding night, and if a child came of such a union, the husband would have the honor of raising the hero's offspring.
This privilege sometimes allowed lords to bed the noble wives in Phithia, however this practice scarred many women who felt obliged to follow through with this custom.
== Abolishment ==
Aurora Korlat and Claudia of Pithia as well as a plea of women hosted a council to abolish this right, the two women were successful. However, due to this practice many men in Pithia may hold a historical grudge against them.
