This article draws on the ethnography of South African Bantu speakers to model an archaeologically useful relationship between pollution beliefs and marriage. Typically, pollution beliefs intensify with more complex marital alliances, first with the increasing significance of relations between wives and their cattle-linked siblings, and then with a shift towards a preference for cousin marriage. The article applies the model to the Early Iron Age (ad 650–1050) record and concludes that Early Iron Age agriculturists practised non-kin marriage, but that a high bridewealth, and possibly hypogamous marriage, generated considerable structural tension in Early Iron Age society.

The aim of this paper is to discuss the practice of cousin marriage in the community of Kalola Village, Pasangkayu Regency, West Sulawesi. This study uses qualitative methods and data was gathered through observation, in-depth interviews, and written material. Data analysis was analyzed using grounded theory approach. the background of a cousin marriage in the Mandar tribe community in Kalola Village is a tradition that has been strong for a long time in the community, in addition to the factor of maintaining a large family and protecting property. Meanwhile, the impact of cousin marriage includes both positive and negative impacts. The positive impact is to reduce the number of conflicts in the community and strengthen local political systems, while the negative impact is the breakdown of kinship in the event of conflict and divorce and health risks.

Objective: This study was carried out to find out the prevalence of Jervell and Lange Nielsen Syndrome (JLNS) in deaf school children for impaired hearing and to correlate this with consanguineous marriages. Setup: Schools for deaf and dumb children and Sheikh Zayed Medical College, Rahim Yar Khan. Design: Cross sectional, case control study. Period: 2006 - 2007. Methods: Electrocardiographs (ECG’s) of 114 congenitally deaf school children (ages 4-20 years) and also of 23 healthy children with normal hearing function of same age group were recorded. The corrected QT (QTc) interval of all 137 ECGs was evaluated by Bazett’s formula. Mean QTc of healthy children was taken as reference of normal QTc interval. The deaf children with normal QTc were labeled as control group. Patients with long QTc were further evaluated for JLNS by applying Schwartz’s criteria. We also calculated the relationship of the positive cases to consanguineous marriages. Results: We found that 28 deaf children out of 114 cases had QTc intervals longer than 0.44 seconds. This interval was significantly longer [P=0.008] than the QT interval in control group. As per Schwartz’s criteria, 15 out of 28 LQTs cases scored high points (3.5 to 5.5). The presence of consanguineous marriage was 100% in first pedigree of these 28 children. Conclusions: JLNS (an alarming arrhythmic disease associated with congenital deafness) is significantly present (24.6%) in Rahim Yar Khan’s deaf school children. The presence of cousin marriage was 100% in first pedigree of these children.

SummaryMost studies on consanguinity have been conducted on contemporary populations and have focused on the prevalence and types of preferred intra-familial marriage. With its comprehensive birth, marriage and deaths records dating back to the late 17th century, and the legal bar on first cousin marriage removed in the mid-19th century, Sweden offers unique opportunities to examine the factors that determine by whom, where and why consanguineous marriages were contracted. The present study covers the period 1780–1899 and presents a detailed portrait of cousin and sibling exchange marriages in the Skellefteå region of northern coastal Sweden. The combined prevalence of first, second and third cousin marriage increased from 2.3% in 1790–1810 to 8.8% in 1880–1899, and multi-generation consanguinity also increased significantly over the study period. The distribution and prevalence of first cousin marriages was strikingly non-random, with a significantly greater propensity for consanguinity among land-owning families, especially involving first-born sons, within specific pedigrees, and in a number of more remote inland communities. Additional factors associated with a greater likelihood of consanguineous marriage included physical or mental disability among males, and among females the prior birth of an illegitimate child. Besides the inherent interest in the social and demographic structure of this region of northern Sweden during the course of the 19th century, in future studies it will be important to determine the degree to which the observed patterns of consanguineous and sibling exchange marriages in these past generations could have influenced present-day genetic structure.

Mendelian Population

The Mendelian theory of the segregation of unit characters, though it is far, as yet, from being completely demonstrated, offers a simple explanation of some striking features of inheritance. In particular, Mr. E. C. Snow has recently shown that the gametic correlations for collaterals deducible from the Mendelian hypothesis are in close agreement with the actually observed somatic correlations for man and certain other animals; or, in other words, that a Mendelian theory of segregation without dominance gives values for collateral resemblance not greatly differing from those found from observation. It seems, therefore, possible that the same theory will throw some light on the problem of inbreeding, or, at any rate, will indicate to what points, on which precise data are at present lacking, statistical enquiry should be directed. Without these data the Mendelian theory cannot be corroborated or negatived by the methods of the present paper. So far as they go, however, the statistics at present obtainable with regard to consanguinity in the parentage of albinos and deaf mutes are in approximate agreement with the calculated results, although the accuracy of the figures is too uncertain for the application of anything more than a rough criterion.

Cousin Marriage

According to classical Muslim marriage law, a woman needs her guardian's (viz. father's) consent to marry. However, the resulting marriage payment, the mahr, is hers. This split bill may lie behind the high rates of consanguineous marriage in the Muslim world, where country estimates range from 20 to 60 percent. Cousin marriage can stem from a form of barter in which fathers contribute daughters to an extended family bridal pool against sons' right to draw from the same pool. In the resulting system, women are robbed of their mahr and sons marry by guarding their sisters' “honor” and heeding clan elders.

The Village

During the 1930s in the Venezuelan village of San Carlos de Río Negro, the Baré practiced cross-cousin marriage. However, by the 1980s they married hypergamously among the Curripaco, Geral, and Criollos, all of whom had recently migrated to the village. There is considerable historical material on San Carlos, which when coupled with fieldwork, facilitate the formulation of a number of hypotheses to test what best accounts for this transformation of marital rules. Lévi-Strauss predicted the causes of the breakdown of elementary kinship structures and the creation of complex ones; this chapter suggests an alternative scenario. In a parallel case, Curripaco women migrated to San Carlos in the 1970s and 1980s, could marry someone employed directly or indirectly in the government project, Codesur (Comisión para el Desarrollo del Sur), and became incorporated into the complex kinship structure of this ex–rubber boom village. This chapter suggests their social transformation sheds light on the Baré transformation of some forty years earlier.
