Domestic politics, disputes. Pic very related in this case.

As previously established, these clans have an internal hierarchy based, among other things, on the number of children and subsequently the size of the body. This internal hierarchy is an arena of fierce social competition, and these women will do anything to bring down their rivals. These disputes are just as physical as they are political. With rivals often attempting to intimidate eachother with their attributes. Some going as far as to engage in competitions to outpace the others development.
But they also have a social an economic dimension, where women will try to mobilize their resources and friends to subdue their rival.
It so happens that a woman can be dispossesed of her own children and most of her property if the matriarch (or the clan at large) judges her to be unfit to manage them. Essentially disgracing her in the eyes of society.

While disputes of this type often turn violent, it rarely escalates to anything more than slaps and scratches. Though verbal sparring is near constant. Thes edisputes last long through time. Invariably, the victor becomes apparent as she outgrows her rival. The defeated woman is not often stripped of her children and property. Usually, she is just banned form having children for a few years.
