Kerelians may have nuclear, monogamous families but many engage in polyamorous relationships (long-term or short, much as monogamous relationships). They believe that the community in its entirety is responsible for the development of a well-versed citizen.  Kerelian parents exchange children from family to family for 2 months of the year so they can experience different forms of art and lifestyles. Children choose a Klata (life path) at 16, at the much-celebrated Klata ceremony. They may decide to choose to marry one or more individuals from age 21 onwards, but divorce is not allowed except in exceptional circumstances.  Females are only fertile twice in their lives and give birth to up to three offspring, with one being uncommon. In order to have children, Kerelians must be tested and certified by the government as competent and suitable.

Kerelians are a non-violent race but are fierce to defend themselves if attacked. The incidence of violent crime is low but has seen a rise since the admittance to the Federation and the associated increase in visitors to the planet. The society welcomes all races and approves of inter-species mating.
