"What?!" I asked, confused.
Why was she even asking such a thing?
"You know, if you are going to propose to me, shouldn't you bring a ring with you?"
Ah, so that's what she means.
She knows how people used to propose back on Earth; she wouldn't have said so if not for that because there is no concept of proposal in this world.
If you live with each other, you marry.
If someone wins you over, you marry.
If a strong person forces you, you marry.
In simpler terms, there is no concept of morality here.
And even more than that, there is no concept of actual marriage like back on Earth.
Here, if you just claim it and both parties agree, wallah you are married. But you don't need the confirmation of both parties, someone.
"What's even a need for the ring here?"
An obviously natural question from my side, what's the point in having a soft metal with a small shining crystal on her fingers which is obviously going to break with just a slight movement from her.
