@knecht Yeah, I was pretty much disregarding the method of their marriage. It's pretty much the fact that she doesn't really have anything resembling human rights at the moment. You could put her on sale on some figurine trading site right now or something, and her apparent sentience wouldn't matter a bit.
Hm, now there's an idea. Put a sentient figure up for resale, ship her to the buyer... and then have her escape the house to meet up outside with you. Rinse, repeat.
