The koon-ut-so'lik was a Vulcan ritual marriage proposal. It can be conducted when, or even before, the Vulcan is in the grips of pon farr. They may precede the koon-ut-kal-if-fee ritual. The koon-ut-so'lik is (apparently) made when a Vulcan wishes to choose their own mate, as Vorik - who was interested in choosing B'Elanna Torres as his mate - gave her the ritual proposal. Usually, in cases of marriage, Vulcans are bonded to their mate at childhood by their parents and when the time for Pon farr occurs, they seek the mate out. Howevever, on certain conditions the Vulcan might not be bonded and thus are free to choose a mate at which point they invoke the koon-ut-so'lik. (VOY episode: "Blood Fever")

At the age of seven, the boy and girl were betrothed in a ceremony in which they initiated a telepathic mating bond, locking their minds together so that at the proper time they would instinctively be drawn to one another again.

Either upon acceptance of the koon-ut-so'lik or the more conventional reuniting of the betrothed, the male and female met in a Vulcan ritual known as koon-ut-kal-if-fee. On stardate 50537.2, Ensign Vorik of the USS Voyager underwent his first pon farr, and due to Voyager's circumstances, Vorik was not able to return to Vulcan to find a mate. He proposed koon-ut-so'lik to Chief Engineer B'Elanna Torres to be his mate. (VOY: "Blood Fever")
