"Power to the council!" said Samos, bowing his head. "Power to the council!" cried the men in the tiers. Even the page boys and the scribes, and the minor captains, in the back of the room and about the sides, cried out these words. "Power to the council!" I sat in my cruule chair, smiling. "Further," said Samos, "I propose that the council decree that all bonds among clients and patrons in Port Kar be now dissolved, to be reestablished only on the basis of mutual consent and explicit contract on the part of the parties involved, which documents, in copy, are to be placed with the council." Sullius Maximus shook his fist at Samos. "You will not shear us of our power!" he cried." Further," said Samos, "Let the council decree that any who fail to abide by the resolutions of the council, or act against it, be regarded, at the council's convenience, subject to her pleasure."

Article 3 - Women of their Men
"Port Kar does not recognize the Free Companionship, but there are free women in the city, who are known simply as the women of their men. 'Are you my woman?' I asked. 'Yes,' she said. 'Then, I said, obey me.'" (Raiders of Gor, p 295)
Article 3, Section 1 - Women of their Men
Free companionship is not recognized per the Articles of Port Kar, Women are simply known as the women of their men. A woman may only be known as the woman of one man at any given time. Becoming a woman of a man does not strip her of any properties or coin she may own.
Note (1): A woman becomes the “woman of her man” by virtue of her consent.
Note (2) If a woman is taken against her will, kidnapping charges may be filed. (Edited and changed per forum discussion 11/2/2017)
