Default Logic: Are they married?

There were 2 tribes living on an island. The east tribal people always tell a lie. The west tribal people always tell the truth. Alan and Bryan came from the same tribe. However, we do not know which tribe they came from.

When they were asked the marital status, Alan said: “Both of us are married.” But Bryan said: “I am not married”. Are they really married?

Tickel your brains

Award- 50 tokens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
enjoy

Because they give contradictary statements, they must be liars.
Bryan says he's not married, so that means he IS.

Therefore to make Alan's statement a lie, he cannot be married.

So, only Bryan is married.
