The brek'tal ritual is a Klingon ritual that allows the widow of an honorably slain Klingon, who was the head of his House, to marry his opponent. If the ritual is performed the victor then becomes the head of his slain opponent's house. The brek'tal is only allowed when the former leader of the house dies without a male heir. Without the brek'tal the mistress, now widow, of the House may be granted special dispensation to lead the house on her own, but only if there are unique circumstances.

While speaking with Rom, Quark offered him one piece of advice: "stay away from the dabo girls." He warned that "they would promise you anything, they would say they love you, that you're the most handsome Ferengi since Daimon Orok but they only want one thing: your latinum".
