I am kinda thinking that if these are the sole heirs
of syltherin that doing the nasty with your VERY next
of kin to continue the family is (even very nasty to
consider) the only way to go

I do agree with you ginger. Her only way to get out of
that hell hole was to more or less induce someone to
take her.  From all accounts Merope is NOT the most
attractive chick on the block and last I here she
didn't have any suitors come calling and if she did,
how may would have daddy considered?

so the onlly way out is to go out and snare herself a
MAN and do it in which ever way works. And it may as
well be the local, village hunk!
