I find it unlikely that same-sex couples would be 'let off from obeying the rules' as it were, given the much wider acceptance of their existence in Heortling society, compared to real world cultures. Inter-clan relationships and households, whether the birth of children is expected or not, still have bearing on property issues. And there's the question of who inherits *from* a childless couple.
If Jarstan from Bluetree clan wants a formal relationship with Varmast from the Hillside clan, then he'll face pressure to get married and conduct property negotiations, just like anyone else would. IMG, at least.
