With inspiration from Jimmy Akin’s answer to whether a human could marry an alien, I pose this hypothetical:
In the Mass Effect Universe, the Asari are a monogendered species. To humans, they appear feminine in appearance and they possess what are to humans, female-like reproductive organs and mammaries. However, their method of reproduction is much different. Asari “can mate and successfully reproduce with any other gender or species through a form of parthenogenesis”. They are “not asexual and do in fact require a partner to reproduce. However, asari reproduction is very different from other forms of sexual reproduction. An asari provides two copies of her own genes to her offspring, one of which is passed on unaltered. The second set of genes is altered in a unique process called melding”.
Given that such a union is open to life for the sake of bearing and raising children, though these children would be Asari, would marriage between a human, either male or female, and an Asari be possible?
