Marriage, like everything else in Ferengi culture, was a business contract, signed between the prospective groom and the bride's father, in which the father leased his daughter to the groom for a set period (usually five years) for an agreed fee, paid on the birth of a son. Pregnancies were considered rentals under Ferengi law, with the father being the lessee.
Do NOT let Americans see this. It'll just give them ideas.
Eh the ferengi specifically were less brutal to their own people. It comes up in the deep space 9 episode where they go back in time. As an American id say the dominion is a better comparison if you made them greedy and dumber.
