Kirsten, With respect you are not using computer logic. You are telling the computer to marry the daughter. So it does just that, but since it knows that for a marriage to exist there must be a partner it kindly provides one. You then tell the computer to marrry a guy to that same woman, so not knowing that the guy is the partner which it had previously arranged, it does exactly as requested. Hence by complying with the requests - two husbands. It really isn't based on a matter of sequence but a matter of logic .
