A) provided a systematic form of social mobility, especially for women

B) resulted in divorce because the couples were too tired and stressed from the daily obligations imposed upon them by the chief

C) lacked ritual, since marriages were not important to the social order of chief- doms

D) resulted in males marrying other males in order for them to gain higher rank and status in the society.
