Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

Indeed, there's a lot of talk about dwarves having "Ones" aka a single soulmate who's meant just for them and if that person doesn't love them back, they won't marry anyone else. I'm surprised when it doesn't appear in fic. Same thing with dwarf women having a higher status in society than daughters of Men in theirs, and how some dwarves dedicate their lives to craft instead of a partner (really, how many fics have used the same copy-paste sentence from Wikipedia? LOLOL).

The thing is, with there being so few dwarf women, you could just as easily argue their society would pressure the "non-craft oriented" ones even *more* into marriage and popping out babies, to keep their race going. Maybe not pressure as such but it would be part of their custom and pretty much expected. After all, they're the only ones left among the dwarrowdams who are interested in marrying.

And while they're thought of very highly, the downside (to me anyway) is they're still "guarded jealously" inside their Mountains and don't go out much. I wonder if that was the male population's decision? ;)

In one fem!Bilbo fic I've read dwarrowdams take several husbands at once, to raise the chances of getting pregnant. While other dwarf women go after their craft, the ones who don't now pop out even more babies. Heck, that's an interesting and refreshing concept! :)
