I'm talking about the Arbiter who was a married swordsman in Sangheili culture (lolwut), not the retarded mecha from the prototype armory on Algolis.
Did it ever say they were married?
Do the rules we think of marriage even apply to Elite culture (Aliens after all).
Also, Ripa was arrogant. Forge didn't get 'plotshielded', he used that arrogance and killed Ripa with it.
He calls her his wife.
Yes, they do. Sangheili males will marry females but swordsmen and aristocrats do not marry, instead they choose any eligible female, even married ones. However, the arbiter from The Duel was married and he wielded a sword, which only swordsmen are permitted to do.
And yeah, Forge was plotshielded. In a believable fight between the two he'd be dead.
So you know for a fact an Elite marriage is EXACTLY the same as a human marriage?
Also, as Coma said, he may have married before becoming a swordsman, OR the position of Arbiter could have a wife.
It was a believable fight, Forge appealed to Ripa's arrogance, and gave him a chance to show off. While Ripa was busy BRAGGING instead of killing, Forge stabbed him in the neck(Near the skull too) and proceeded to stab Ripa with his own sword. You see, Ripa was boosting his own ego by showing off, instead of brutally and quickly killing Forge as he may have been able to do.
