* ''[[Ranma ½~~|Ranma 1/2~~]]'' has [[Anime Chinese Girl|Shampoo's]] village of Joketsuzoku; according to the rulebook, not only is she supposed to give a [[Kiss of Death]] to any non-Joketsuzoku girl who defeats her, but she's also supposed to marry any non-Joketsuzoku guy who defeats her. Between being a guy who defeated her in front of her whole village (admittedly in the wrong form, thanks to his [[Gender Bender]] curse), followed by knocking her out cold again in male form in her first appearance in Japan, Shampoo and her great-grandmother insist that Ranma is engaged to her.

** Similarly, though she doesn't actually believe Ranma to be married to her, Kodachi [[Yandere|develops her obsessive crush on him]] after Ranma [[Rescue Romance|rescues her from a fall]]. She's so infatuated that she insists that all of Ranma's other [[Arranged Marriage|Arranged Marriages]] are usurpers who are trying to steal Ranma from her. Despite the fact Ranma has no interest in her whatsoever.

* Lum's insistence that she is married to Ataru because he declared "Now I can get married!" (meaning to his girlfriend Shinobu) after winning the Tag Race in the first episode of ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]''.
