she is the wife of awiyao.
Because the "Wedding Dance" is the the final thing that would completely cut the relationship between Awiyao and Lumnay as husband and wife and in the otherside would tie Awiyao and Madulimay as newly wed. The title there speaks of the dance that will be done at the wedding ceremony of Awiyao and Madulimay. To this sense, if the wedding dance is already enunciated by Awiyao and Madulimay, then it means Lumnay and Awiyao are no longer a husband and wife. It is only after the wedding dance that we can surely say that they really sacrifise for their genuine love. (GENE LUPAGUE)

They have been married for seven harvest periods yet Awiyao and Lumnay weren't able to produce children and Awiyao badly need one to affirm his virility and to establish his place among his tribesmen so he decided to leave Lumnay and marry Madulimay.The story is set in one of the mountainous provinces in the northern Philippines on the eve of Awiyao's wedding to Madulimay, while gangsas beat and women dance to celebrate the union. Awiyao slipped away from the celebration to convince Lumnay to join the dancing women. Instead, their conversation turned to a passionate goodbye, each expressing love for the other, their speeches filled with recollection of precious memories, finding it hard to let go of one another.The climax was reached with Awiyao running, blood surging, resolved to stop the dance and complain against the tribe's culture that permits a man to marry another woman if the first wife couldn't bear him children. But suddenly she stopped and turned back, defeated.Daguio, in the story presented a clash against a basic human emotion and culture and thus established two important points: that culture transcends love and the bitter truth about the inequality of the sexes. He did not establish though that Lumnay was sterile. Awiyao could have been the one with fertility problems, who knows? Awiyao's pride forced him to leave Lumnay, no matter how he loved his wife. But if he was the one with fertility problems, would Lumnay's love be enough to take him back?On the second point, their culture permits man to leave his wife and take another woman hoping the second wife would bear him children but no such provision for women exists.
