Women were traditionally used by their families to further economic and political agendas. They were married or remarried as suited their families' purposes. Young women had little choice in who they married. It was possible that the men did not either. For women, who were moved to their husband's village, the only way to escape might have been suicide. During conflict situations the women might start a quarrel but it only became serious when men got involved.
When an attack was expected the women and children went to hide in the woods while the men got ready to fight. If a raiding party was successful, they killed the men and captured the women and children. Women were seen as valuable property. A strong warrior might take a woman from a neutral party, a creditor might take a woman as payment for a debt, or a man who had paid a ransom for a sister-in-law might be compensated by taking her as another wife. Women, though, were free to dispose of the products of their own labour and were competitive in commerce. Older women, who were married to important men, could play prominent roles.
