These fights can lead to the death of one of the parties, and outsiders are not permitted to interfere during the ritual. As part of the ritual, the female can choose a defender to fight for her which can include herself, another male or even an alien. (TOS episode: "Amok Time", VOY episode: "Blood Fever")
