The brides were picked by the parents of the deceased males. Before the murders, a short traditional wedding ceremony was held so that the deceased sons would have marriage in the afterlife.

[10] Inheritance is often distinct from marriage, as "cleansing" practices often are a prerequisite for a widow after the death of her husband.
Another important ritual in the wedding ceremony was the offering up of an apple by the groom's family to be consumed by the bride. [9] The wedding ceremony was formalised by the bride moving into her husband's house as well as by the bride's father giving a dowry to the groom. [11] [9]
