The Wodaabe has 15 lineage groups. This is based on blood lines and who travels together during the dry season.
The lineage group determines who can marry whom.
Koobegal marriages are arranged during the partners childhood by the parents,cousins of the same lineage may marry.
Teegal marriages are second marriages by choice. It is also known as a love marriage. They may  get a partner from a different lineage. These marriages  quite often involve wife stealing as you saw in the video Wife Thief. The woman consents to this,but not with the consent of her husband. When the woman goes away with her husband any children she has with her 1st husband must be left with him.
 The Wodaabe believe in bush spirits,who live in trees. They believe the spirits are sad about the way people have treated them. Some of the spirits are considered dangerous.
