But if the Humakti re-sheaths he can pretty much carry on as-was but he but doesn't have to worry about his family having to be responsible for his actions (IMO this responsibility falls on who-ever hires the Humakti e.g. chieftain, mercenary commander etc.who effectively take the place of family in legal matters)...

 I really do think (IMG, IMOHO etc.) that a humakti can sever his family ties as a formality and a legal get out clause only, but still live with his family, have a bit a nooky with suitable members of whatever sex he fancies, turn up at his mums for family get together and generally be a relatively normal member of society albeit with various ritual roles and responsibilities and a convenient legal position for a soldier .... (I know others will disagree with me here ;)).
