Generally, it varies. Trying to keep her away from him via "honour killing" or forcing her to marry someone else are two versions as old as time and some police forces are currently trying to convince certain parents that the laws do consider it abuse... “Not liking your daughter’s boyfriend and trying to keep her away from him is a story as old as time and it’s not generally considered “abuse”.”

Actually I am not even sure 'race' is the term to describe them since they have no genetic lineage or ability to interbreed. They are all genticaly engineered assexual clones. Was Gorgon's daughter doing the inhuman equivalent of anthromorphising the A.P, or taking advantage of a simple creature to deal with her anxieties? I think greater science fiction plotlines were overlooked, for the easy starcrossed lovers chestnut. The Alpha primitives are seperate race altogether from what I gathered.
