Diana (2133 Magyar X531474-4): No institution
of marriage exists on Diana. Women choose their mates only with an eye
to healthy offspring, and see them only to breed. The children are raised
by their mothers in large "clan" cities (a clan is loosely related by these
maternal lines) and the men live in the fields, forests, and villages outside
the cities. At puberty, a male child joins the men.
Most agriculture is a male province, while most industry
not directly related to the products of the land is the female domain.
Each group trades for the products of the other. Each also has its own
culture, art, architecture, literature, and music, very different from
the other's.
Residents of Diana undoubtedly came from Terra,
but their legends deny it, and they have few dealings with other humans
of the Solomani Sphere.
