"Good! Our dream still lives!" Soun puts his arm around his friend and
 points to his girls. "Pick the one you want. She's you fiancee. "
 
 "WHAT THE!!!" Kasumi, Nabiki, and Akane yell.
 
 End of scene.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! RUN AWAY!!!! RUN AWAY!!!!!

This is EVIL!!! VERY evil. Not even Akane deserves this kind of punishment,
and I dislike her only slightly less than I do Akari.

Plus, there are a few things that would make this slightly unworkable. For
starters, Genma wouldn't delay a wedding like Ranma would; he would want tot
get married right away, to preserve his honor, cary on the school, in the
hopes of getting a little action. I can see the wedding night now...

Genma: But Akane-chan, really, it won't be that bad...

Akane: (Wearing a chastity belt made out titanium, wielding a sword, and
strapped into something that looks suspiciously like a hardsuit) HELLP!!!!!
KASUMI!! NABIKI!!! ANYBODY!!!! EVEN KUNO!!!!!! HEEEEELLLP!!!!!!!!!!!

*Ahem.*  Second of all, even if Akane managed to stave off Genma for awhile,
Genma would latch onto Kodachi the first second he could. We all know Genma is
a greedy SOB, and the Kuno fortune would be an awful temptation.

 btw: Up until modern times it was common(? I think) in Japan for men in
 their late 30's early 40's to marry young women in their late teens,
 early 20's.
 

Was? It still is.
