[edit] Sam and Jack married
Did they ever say in the episode that buying a woman is the same as marrying her? I mean I get that Jack might own her according to their laws (Or might not, it's been a while since I saw the episode), but owning isn't exactly marriage. JBK405 04:46, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Eh, I think it isn't really close enough. They never state that owning somebody is the same as marriage, if that were true then fathers would be automatically married to their daughters, brothers to their sisters, etc. It's to much of an assumption. JBK405 01:41, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
"* Because Col. O'Neill procures the release of Capt. Carter by trading his Beretta side-arm for her, many fans of the apparent romance of Jack and Samantha indulge in the notion that for all intents and purposes of the Shavadai culture this makes them husband and wife - a fact Daniel wisely forgoes mentioning to the two of them, probably in the interest of self-preservation."
