Brendol Hux hates that his son is gay and wants him to settle down with a woman and lead a 'proper' life. When Armitage brings Kylo home, Brendol realises his son is in love with the boy and won't give him up without a fight. Not wanting to cause any scandal, Brendol decides to compromise.

Armitage can marry Kylo once Kylo is transformed into an acceptable 'wife'. They arrange between them to drug Kylo and have him castrated, force him to promise to 'love and obey' during the wedding ceremony, call him 'Mrs. Hux' and generally refer to him by female pronouns. Kylo may or may not be into it but has absolutely no say either way.
