This is the community for 40 prompts about the sedoretu from Ursula Le Guin's work.

The sedoretu is a system of marriage from the planet O. In this society people are split up into 2 moieties: morning & evening. Marriages on O are expected to have 2 morning people + 2 evening people (most typical with 1 male 1 female per moiety).

Here's a quote from the writer Ursula about the expected relatioships in the marriage:

The expected relationships within each sedoretu are:
The Morning woman and the Evening man (the "Morning marriage")
The Evening woman and the Morning man (the "Evening marriage")
The Morning woman and the Evening woman (the "Day marriage")
The Morning man and the Evening man (the "Night marriage")
The forbidden relationships are between the Morning woman and the Morning man, and between the Evening woman and the Evening man, and they aren't called anything, except sacrilege.
It's just as complicated as it sounds, but aren't most marriages?
