Traditions determine how leadership is to be acquired in the society in which the story is set, chieftaincy is hereditary,held by the first son.

A chief rules all the families of a particular village and so it is only proper for him to be married first before he begins to rule.Chief Owour Kembo ruled after his father chief Owour died,the playwright tells us Chief Owour had to be married to Akoko so that he could rule with honesty.

Traditions sets the amount of dowry to be paid a bride price.It determine the minimal or the usual bride price.This is to ensure that all the men have a chance of getting married.Tradition,however,is also flexible enough to allow Akoko's father to ask for thirty heads of cattle or two and a half times more bride price and for Akoko and Nyabera to ask for a mere token,a bull two cows and six.

Tradition also requires that suitors do spouses to ensure,among other things ,that the two have no blood yard;marriage between people who share genes is avoided.
