Umm from what I see, the thakurs usually get their own daughters married to men within the Bedia community. They wouldn't want their offspring being mistresses to men from their own communities. Hukum and Katari both are married to women from Bedia community only, but these two were not forced to do Rai, so there must be some dynamics there.
I did not understand. Thakur daughters are married to Bedia men?
Yes, there must be some dynamics to prevent bedia women from becoming mistresses to Thakur men who are close in blood.
Someone posted information on bedia community in this forum. According to that, not all bedia women do rai or become mistresses. Some women marry men within their community and take care of house and children. Some women, who can dance, go for rai and sar dakai.
