24 | "is there a passage in the book that states a Man cannot collar His FreeCompanion nor hire someone to do so?"
Answer Hello,
You asked if there is a passage in the books that states a man cannot collar His Free Companion. Well, just the opposite is true.
Following are three examples of where it can be interrupted that a Free Companion can be collared.
And then there is the example of Thurnus and his Free Companion Melina. In the situation shown, Thurnus finally grew weary of Melina. She had been a thorn in his side for quite a while. After discovering an attempt on his life, Thurnus finally had enough. As you read the excerpts you will find the answer to your question.
I wish you well,
Fogaban
"Do you think free women could have felt what you felt?" I asked.
"Never," she said, "for they are not slaves." She looked up at me. "What I felt were the feelings of a slave in the arms of her master. Those are feelings no free woman will ever know."
"Unless she is put in bondage," I said.
"Yes, Master," she smiled. Then she said, "How I pity them, those poor free woman, such as I was. How ignorant they are. No wonder they are so hostile to men. Would not any woman hate a man who did not have the strength to put her in a collar?"

He had come to love Telima, and had freed her, but when he had learned the location of his former Free Companion, Talena, once daughter of Marlenus of Ar, and vowed to free her from slavery, Telima had left him, in the fury of a Gorean female, and returned to the rence marshes, her home in the Vosk's vast delta.
A true Gorean, he knew, would have gone after her, and brought her back in slave bracelets and a collar. But he, in his weakness, had wept, and let her go.

"Who was that?" I asked.
"Bera," said he, "companion of Svein Blue Tooth."
My heart sank.
"He should put her in a collar," said the Forkbeard.

"Yes, my love," said Melina.
"Drink first, Companion," said Thurnus.
. . .
"Better," said Thurnus, "that the draught had been poison, and you had drunk first."
"Oh, no, Thurnus," she whispered. "Please, no!"
"Bring a cage," said Thurnus.
"No!" she cried.
"And a sleen collar," he said.
. . .
Thurnus then looped the sturdy, leather, metal-embossed sleen collar about her throat. With an awl, brought by a man, he punched two holes, vertically, in the leather strap, and thrust the twin buckle-claws through the holes; he then took the long, loose end of the strap, for the sleen has a large neck, thrust it through the four strap loops, thick and broad, and then, with a knife, cut off the portion of the strap which protruded beyond the last strap loop.
Melina, her shoulders bared, stood before him, wearing a sleen collar. It had, sewn in its side, a heavy ring, to which a sleen leash might be attached
Instantly she was stripped and thrown to the ground. She looked up in fear at Thurnus.
"Into the cage, Slave," said Thurnus.
"Thurnus!" she cried.
He crouched down and, with the back of his hand, struck her across the mouth, leaving blood across the side of her face.
"Into the cage, Slave," he said.
"Yes Master," whispered Melina.
