	Knanaya-ENDOGAMY, ITS RELEVANCE & FUTURE
		Endogamy is perhaps one of the most emotionally charged and controversial issues we Kinanites face today.
		Thus, it is conceivable that the practice of endogamy among Kinanites in Kerala began as a means to an end, namely, the preservation of the purity of the Christian faith.
		Endogamy as a tradition and Kinanaya as a community can be preserved and perpetuated only if a sizable number of our members do honor it now and therefore wish to retain it.

	Endogamy - LoveToKnow 1911
		Endogamy was probably characteristic of the very early stages of social organization (see Family), and is to-day found only among races low in the scale of civilization.
		Among the Ahtena of Alaska, though the tribes are extremely militant and constantly at war, the captured women are never made wives, but are used as slaves.
		Endogamy seems to have existed in the Sandwich Islands and in New Zealand.

	Endogamy (Site not responding. Last check: )
		While societies have rules of exogamy, which specify which relatives are forbidden to marry, they also have those of endogamy, which require that marriages be solely or preferentially contracted within particular social groups, ranges, or relationships.
		Such practices help to highlight community identity, uniqueness, and status in opposition to neighbouring groups with whom marriages are discouraged.
		Endogamy is often applied on a society-wide level and assists in defining group boundaries.

	Class Endogamy (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This observation is supported by studies of marriage patterns in American society, which reflect strong, although unacknowledged, preferences for restricting conjugal relationships on the basis of class and related divisions of ethnicity, race, and religion.
		More importantly, while racial endogamy rates have generally declined, those for educational status are noticeably increasing.
		In this case endogamy is imposed by structural rules as well as predominant preferences.

	International Review of Social History volume 50 supplement - summaries
		A number of conflicting hypotheses on the effects of migration on the likelihood of endogamy according to social class of origin are formulated and tested on the French historical record over the past two centuries.
		We conclude that migrants were less likely to marry endogamously, especially if they migrated from rural villages to cities; this is explained mainly by the fact that they thereby escaped the social pressure of their parents and peers and met more people from different social backgrounds.
		Previous transitions in their occupational careers (especially to non-rural occupations for grooms, and to service for brides), in their migration trajectories (particularly moves to urban areas) and changes in the sphere of personal relationships (entering widowhood, ageing) are crucial in understanding marriage mobility.

	Hindu History - The Emergence of the Caste System (The Jati-Varna Matrix)
		The pseudo-religious practices of untouchability and endogamy which segregated one caste from another, apart from the various social privileges and also laws as provided in our Dharmashastras drilled into the minds of people that caste is a pre-ordained and hereditary institution which has divine sanction.
		It was these doctrines that gave the feature of heredity to the caste system which was further cemented by ideas of birth one' s in a caste depending on one's deeds in a past life and re-birth in a higher caste if one strictly adhered to caste rules in one's present life.
		It is necessary here to repeat that untouchability and endogamy were social practices to sustain the caste system which comprised production and exchange relations which meant the hereditary adherence to a particular vocation and the obligatory sharing of the products made by the lower castes with the upper castes.

	Status Groups and Structural Endogamy
		Structural endogamy emerges as a result of objective behaviors (marriages) which relink clusters of families into blocks in which every family is linked to every other by multiple and distinct paths of blood and marriage connections.
		Structural endogamy in a class society is not 100% endogamous in the sense that every new marriage is an endogamous relinking within a social group.
		Structural endogamy forms "blocks" of relinkings within class societies, however, in which there is a time-lag between the assimilation of outsiders through marriage and the relinking of these marriages through structurally endogamous (relinking) marriages of their descendants or their descendants' affines.

	Ancient Society by Lewis H. Morgan 1877
		McLennan’s new terms, “Exogamy and Endogamy” are of questionable utility — that as used in “Primitive Marriage”; their positions are reversed, and that “endogamy” has very little application to the facts treated in that work while “exogamy”; is simply a rule of a gens, and should be stated as such.
		from exogamy to endogamy, or from endogamy to exogamy”; (115); “they may be equally archaic” (116); and “they are in some respects” equally rude (116); but before the discussion ends, “endogamy” rises to the superior position, and stands over toward civilization, while “exogamy”; falls back in the direction of savagery.
		Advancing from this state of things, the first check upon “endogamy” is found in the punaluan group, which sought to exclude own brothers and sisters from the marriage relation, while it retained in that relation first, second, and more remote cousins, still under the name of brothers and sisters.

		Endogamy is when one marries someone within one's own group.
		Norwegians only married other Norwegians; "community endogamy" would mean that one only married other members of one's community.
		The organizational advantage of endogamy is that few outsiders are brought into the group, so inheritance and property are not dissipated among too many persons.

	Castes in India: Their Mechanism, Genesis, and Development, by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar
		However, in an originally exogamous population an easy working out of endogamy (which is equivalent to the creation of Caste) is a grave problem, and it is in the consideration of the means utilized for the preservation of endogamy against exogamy that we may hope to find the solution of our problem.
		She may marry outside the Caste and violate endogamy, or she may marry within the Caste and through competition encroach upon the chances of marriage that must be reserved for the potential brides in the Caste.
		Endogamy or the closed-door system, was a fashion in the Hindu society, and as it had originated from the Brahmin caste it was whole-heartedly imitated by all the non-Brahmin sub-divisions or classes, who, in their turn, became endogamous castes.

		Endogamy is the practice of marrying within a social group.
		Despite the fact that many people tend to marry members of their own social group, there are some groups that practice endogamy very strictly as an inherent part of their moral values, traditions or religious beliefs.
		Endogamy is a common practice among displanted cultures attempting to make roots in new countries as it encourages group solidarity and ensures greater control over group resources (which may be important to preserve where a group is attempting to establish itself within an alien culture).

		Endogamy is a characteristic of Kurdish society expressed in “preference for marriage with the father’s brother’s daughter” (2).
		As the example of the Alevi Kurds demonstrated, their endogamy has a very relative character: they were not allowed to marry with Sunni Muslims but they could marry with Christians.
		Violence in Alevi Kurdish endogamy tradition is not a decisive factor, neither does it have an important role for the Yezidi endogamy.

		The blessings that endogamy brings with it can be looked upon as different faces of a four dimensional (length, breadth, depth and essence) picture.
		Yet another criticism of endogamy is that our current population is not what it should have been.
		Endogamy as a tradition and Kinanaya as a community can be preserved and perpetuated only if a sizable number of our members do honor it now and therefore wish to retain it.

	Communal Solidarity in a Migrant Community
		If endogamy follows from communal solidarity rather than the mere fact of neighbourhood, we would expect to find it continuing within the migrant streams, despite the fact of neighbourhood applying equally well to members of the other streams.
		Ideally, the figures for male endogamy should be compared, not with the 12.50% which is Canterbury's contribution to the total female population of Thorney, but with Canterbury's contribution to the number of marriageable woman available at the time the marriage took place.
		It is not clear, however, that we may generalise from this, and suggest it may be taken as evidence that endogamy in general follows from communal soildarity rather than the mere fact of neighbourhood.

		Endogamy serves to accumulate similar resources and gaining scale effects while exogamy allows the combination of differentiated competences and the achievement of symbiotic effects.
		It is suggested that knowledge management in endogamies raises different issues from those raised in exogamies.
		(3) While in endogamy, knowledge creation refers to an extension of existing knowledge; in exogamy it is truly new knowledge that is created thanks to the combination of unrelated bodies of knowledge.
