A son who is allowed to inherit, though he may enjoy the use of his inheritance, is not allowed to dispose of it -- such property as he has received from his mother must be passed on in turn to one or more of his own daughters, and in the meantime it is often managed by his wife. Conversely, however, prestige and title follow Sirdabi custom and are passed down along the male line, which in some unusual cases may result in men of great social status living almost materially destitute. More typically, the utmost care is devoted to ensuring that both material and social status remain secure within the family, meaning that among the wealthy and powerful a great deal of strategic emphasis is placed on making proper marriages. Among those of only small and moderate means, strategic alliances are a much lesser concern and individuals are far more likely to marry to please only themselves -- with their parents' approval, of course.</div></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br/></td><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br/></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="−"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #ffe49c; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>In their homeland of Zalawi, the Salawi historically lived in city-states which competed fiercely among one other for power, prestige, and trade.
