What could "marital allies" refer to other than the literal meaning?

Thanks in advance for sharing any insights you might have regarding this concept.

Hex 3, changing line (2) reads: "

"Now sprouting, now hesitating, now driving a team of horses.
Not robbers at all, but marital allies.
The child-woman’s constancy – no children.
Ten years go by, then there are children."

Not robbers at all, but marital allies.

The characters are:

匪 = bandits/gangsters/not
寇 = bandits/robbers/invading/pillaging


婚 = to marry, to wed, wedding, take a wife
媾 = to marry, to copulate, to couple, to negotiate peace


Apart from the obvious, "marriage" could also perhaps refer to a contract, an agreement, the coupling up of two entities, merging, making peace after enmity. In this line, however, the 'woman' (the weaker of the two elements) doesn't (or shouldn't) accept the union.

in the Wilhelm I think it's "he is not a robber but will woo when the time is right". I think this line is about trusting the process, but not committing yourself before you're ready, or the situation has resolved a bit.

Historically this may be connected with an old tradition of many peoples of the friends of the groom 'kidnapping the bride' and taking her to his house for the wedding. So what looks like a gang of bandits is actually the wedding party (and limo).
