Good hypothetical...
pitting moral imperative against social imperative.
Look to existing cultures for the answer. Many cultures native to extreme habitats where survival rates are low tend to practice a "sanctioned rape through marriage". I think that this sort of solution is likely because it deals with the moral issue through (forced) marriage. I get the impression that a race so heavily depleated would suddenly become quite conservative and mysogenistic.
