English translation:families on friendly terms (with each other)
Explanation:
To można zmieniać w zależności od **kontekstu**.
Nie wszystko da się ująć jednym słowem...

słowo "befriended" raczej nie wchodzi w grę, bo bardziej oznacza "zaprzyjaźnić się z kimś".

  -> poniekąd tak, ale chciałem krótko. Można też dywagować, że "close friends" to "zażyła przyjaźń", a "zaprzyjaźniony" może oznaczać równie dobrze luźną przjaźń i tak ad infinitum...

"In these areas, long before the advent of Islam or Christianity, it was considered customary and desirable for the heads of two friendly families to cement their 'alliance' by arranging an appropriate marriage for their children--in many cases while their children were still very young"

to Aker: to zle rozumiesz; 'friendly' ma oba te znaczenia; zajrzyj do byle jakiego polsko angielskiego slownika, np. Kosciuszki, pod 'zaprzyjazniony'; albo sprawdz 'friendly' w slowniku angielskim, czy na internecie;
