Ancient Fãngra household

The Fãngra household is usually formed by two or three parents, all married to each other and of any sex in any proportion, and their children. Families of a higher number of parents are extremely uncommon.

In all families, one of the parents must become devote to the hearth: make sure everything is clean, prepare food and make daily sacrifices (usually food).

To marry someone, they perform a soul binding ritual in which a high priestess of Kõlol (the goddess of marriage, family and home) blesses the bride(s) and/or groom(s), then, they have sexual intercourse. If a couple wants to marry a new person, first they have to unbind themselves in order to perform the soul binding ritual again with the new integrant. Only a high priestess can unbind two people, she does this by consuming diverse substances with psychedelic effects to get 'possessed' by Kõlol and ask her whether she can unbind the couple.

Homosexual and sterile couples or trios can adopt orphans whose parents have died or cannot afford taking care of them in Kõlol temples. In those temples, the priestesses breastfeed the orphans, and the babies must have stopped nursing before they can be adopted (or they can be adopted if they are taken to the temple each time they have to be fed, which most people are unwilling to do). One exception to this are all-female trios, which can adopt babies even if they are still nursing.
