	Exogamy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Exogamy is the custom of marrying outside a specified group of people to which one belongs.
		Edvard Westermarck said it arose in the aversion to marriage between blood relatives or near kin, that is, in horror of incest.
		] derives exogamy from totemism, and says it arose from a religious respect for the blood of a totemic clan, for the clan totem is a god and is especially in the blood.

		The custom of Exogamy, again,here taken to mean the unwritten law which makes it incest, and acaptal offence, to marry within the real or supposed kin denoted by the common name of the kinship, pointed to an archaic condition of family affairs all unlike our Table of prohibited degrees.
		This law of Exogamy was found, among many savage races, associated with Totems, that is plants, animals and other natural objects which give names to the various kinships, and are themselves, in various degrees, reverenced by members of the kinships.
		Exogamy, in his opinion, is the result of treaties of political alliance with exclusive interconnubium between two sets of kinsfolk by blood, totemism being a mere accidental concomitant.

		McLennan would find an explanation of exogamy in the prevalence of female infanticide, which, rendering women scarce, led at once to polyandry within the tribe, and the capturing of women from without.
		Infanticide, however, is not proved to have been so universal as McLennan suggests, and it is more probable that the reason of exogamy is really to be found in that primitive social system which made the captured woman the only wife in the modern sense of the term.
		An additional explanation of the prevalence of exogamy may be found in the natural tendency of exogamous tribes to increase in numbers and strength at the expense of those communities which moved towards decadence by in-breeding.

		Indeed, the lineage segments in which violations of the rule of exogamy are clearly sins are those of an order where members are linked by a dense net of interpersonal bonds.
		The close linkage of rules of exogamy to the principle of agnatic descent is seen in the fact that no distinction is made between it and other ties of consanguineous kinship.
		It is a point worth emphasizing, however, that the salience of rules of exogamy for these patrilineally defined corporate groups is greatest where not only are they most closely linked internally, but their external links of cognatic kinship are shared in common by all members of the lineage or segment.

		I am arguing that narratives and law codes in the Pentateuch reflect contrasting perspectives on exogamy that may be explained, at least in part, by the conflicts over suitable marriage alliances among the inhabitants of Persian Yehud.
		These cases of exogamy and exogamous progeny are not marginal, since the later tribes and kingdoms of Judah and Israel are both at stake.
		Positive stories about exogamy that remain in the text are viewed by these scholars as evidence of much earlier perspectives and practices, rather than as evidence of opposing perspectives on intermarriage in post-exilic Yehud.

		Marriage everywhere is governed (often informally) by rules of exogamy (one must marry outside of one's group) and endogamy (one must marry within one's own group).
		What is considered a group, for purposes of either exogamy or endogamy, varies considerably.
		All known societies have rules of exogamy, such as incest taboos, that specify ranges and categories of relatives who are forbidden as marriage (and sexual) partners.

		But the men have ceased to marry the women of their immediate families, and the problem of exogamy is to determine why men living with women and controlling them should cease to marry them.
		Familiarity with women within the group and unfamiliarity with women without the group is the explanation of exogamy on the side of interest; and the system of exogamy is a result of exchanging familiar women for others.
		Now, it is a well-known condition of exogamy that, while a man must marry without his clan, he must not marry without his tribe, and for the most part, in fact, the clan into which he shall marry is designated.

		Exogamy or outmarriage and associated incest taboos are a basic feature of all marriage systems.
		Alliance theory - This position, championed by Levi-Strauss, maintains that small close-knit groups must force their members to marry outside of their immediate circle in order achieve the cultural, political, and economic benefits that a society build on extensive interactions and alliances provides.
		In his classic cross-cultural study, Social Structure (1949), G.P. Murdock observed that every society within the sample of 250 that he investigated based its marriage system on the prohibition of marriage and sexual relations between nuclear family members.

	There is No Instinct for War
		This means that the bride comes from a different community (exogamy) and goes to live with the family of the husband (patrilocality).
		Patrilocal exogamy is the most common marriage residency pattern in all cultures with internal warfare (Ember and Ember, 1971; Adams, 1983); It is especially common in stateless hunter-gatherer cultures with internal warfare.
		I found that in a sample of 34 stateless cultures without any exogamy and with only external warfare (i.e., warfare only against distant cultures with which there is no inter- marriage), there are reports of women warriors in 9 of them.

		We can conclude that exogamy is one of the causes of assimilation, but we cannot determine precisely the weight of exogamy among the factors that account for the process of assimilation.

		Elsewhere in Canada, the transmission of French has had a tendency to diminish since the end of the 1950s...This evolution is due to the increase of exogamy, because one observes rather an improvement in the transmission of French when one holds constant the distribution of fathers based on their mother tongue.

	exogamy and endogamy -- Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust!
		Endogamy, rare among nonliterate societies, is characteristic of aristocracies and religious and ethnic minorities in industrialized societies, but it is also a notable characteristic of the caste system in India and of class-conscious nonliterate societies such as that of the Masai of East Africa.
		Exogamy, more characteristic of nonindustrial societies, is usually based on ties of kinship, clan, or moiety (see dual organization) rather than on political or territorial lines.
		Since exogamous rules usually characterize unilineal descent groups, in which descent is reckoned either patrilineally or matrilineally, the marriage prohibition will apply only to one side of the family.

		In this context, the focal point at issue is Levi-Strauss’ cultural projection of the human origin, that is his theory of incest taboo, exogamy and the exchange of women.
		The fact that his concept of sexuality is biological and that he does not presuppose the possibility that, with its very constitution it already “requires” and assumes culture, in no way lessens the fact of the importance that he attaches to it.
		The law of exogamy, which is at the basis of the incest taboo, is further, that social rule whereby a new social male sexuality is created and made possible.

		Abstract: Cites the closely-linked institutions of totemism and exogamy in Flannery O'Connor's `Greenleaf.' Ritualistic slaughtering of a bull in the story; Cow as totem animal; Greenleaf clan's facile sense of Christianity; Accrual of wealth without guilt through totemism; Killing of the bull as sacrifice of totemism.
		Its denouement a ritualistic slaughtering of a bull, Flannery O'Connor's "Greenleaf" has invited much comparison with various classical myths.(n1) Perhaps the reason for the diversity of such interpretations is that O'Connor was interested less in specific myths than in the primitive circumstances that spawned them.
		Totemism and exogamy, or marriage outside the clan, exist side by side in primitive cultures, and the unsophisticated Greenleaf boys have indeed found themselves wives.

	Introduction to Marriage Systems (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		As the Nayar case suggests, the basic constants and variations in marital institutions and the affinal relationships that are based on it must first be understood in terms of the patterns of exogamy (out marriage) and endogamy (in marriage).
		All societies have rules of exogamy, closely related to incest taboos, which specify the ranges and categories of relatives who are considered forbidden marriage and sexual partners.
		Even in contemporary Western societies, individuals are encouraged and sometimes forced to marry within ethnic and religious groups and consistently express preferences for mates from similar class and educational backgrounds, in spite of our pervasive emphasis on love and individual choice.

	Castes in India: Their Mechanism, Genesis, and Development, by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar
		The prevalence of exogamy in the primitive worlds is a fact too well-known to need any explanation.
		With the growth of history, however, exogamy has lost its efficacy, and excepting the nearest blood-kins, there is usually no social bar restricting the field of marriage.
		It is no exaggeration to say that with the people of India exogamy is a creed and none dare infringe it, so much so that, in spite of the endogamy of the Castes within them, exogamy is strictly observed and that there are more rigorous penalties for violating exogamy than there are for violating endogamy.
