Now a days the Adnyamathanha people still marry according to the marriage customs. However they have become more accepting. For example there have been occasions when people from the group married Europeans or people from other Aboriginal groups. When this happens they are merely placed in the correct group.There was a close relationship between the law and the Dreaming spirits (Nguthuna) and this was tied together by the Dreaming.

The Aborigines believed that the spirits were everywhere in their lives and they would know if a law had been broken.If the law was broken that meant living outside the law and consequently that meant going against the spirits and living outside the Dreaming. This was a frightening thought as the Dreaming was almost like a lifeline.
