[quote="AnonLion"]I'm not entirely sure if Simba really got rid of that law because on one hand you have "When I'm king, that'll be the first thing to go." (TLK), but on the other hand you also have "My father's law will prevail." (TLK2). However considering how respectful Simba is of the Circle of Life I figured he'd be the same with the already established laws, so I see it more probable the tradition is still a thing. If this is the case though, you'd think that in the second half of TLK2 Kiara would have mentioned to Kovu at least once of her betrothal, something along the lines of "not only are you and Outlander but I'm already betrothed". I'm pretty sure if this happened the ending of the movie would also include Simba getting rid of the tradition so future generations could marry whoever they wanted but I'm getting out of track[/quote]
Very good points. However I think Simba loves Nala too much too enforce their betrothal rather than ask her to be his Queen. Also no matter how much he believes in tradition, I think Simba would still change a law he truly felt was wrong. (Besides allowing his cubs to marry for love rather than duty would be much more beneficial to The Circle of Life
)
As for Kiara being betrothed I think Simba And Nala would want Their cubs to find the same love with their mates that they themselves have. Also as has been suggested in this thread I doubt Simba would have found anyone worthy of being betrothed to Kiara.
[quote="AnonLion"]ISo considering TLK2 never addresses this issue, and supposing the law still goes, then I'm gonna go ahead and bet that the law applies only to male cubs. It would make sense because there are far more female candidates than male if Simba wanted to search one for Kiara. I doubt that we'll ever see this subject addressed in TLG, but there's always that headcanon if anyone likes the idea. Personally I'm not really invested in shipping Kion with anyone at the moment, but if the show implied anything with Tiifu or Zuri I wouldn't mind.[/quote]
As for Kion being betrothed I doubt that would be the case, because one sibling being allowed to marry for love and one having their mate chosen for them would cause them would cause a very big conflict between the siblings. I am quite certain that Simba And Nala would want to take as many precaution against that as possible.
