प्रश्न
State any three functions of exogamy.
उत्तर
- Social Integration: Exogamy fosters social integration by connecting diverse groups or communities. Marriage outside one's community fosters contacts and networks, allowing for cooperation, trade, and mutual assistance.
- Prevention of Inbreeding: Exogamy prevents inbreeding, which can lead to genetic diseases and diminish the gene pool. Individuals who marry outside their immediate kinship group are less likely to have close relatives as partners.
- Cultural Exchange and Diversity: Exogamy promotes cultural exchange and variety by bringing together people from various origins. When people marry outside their cultural or ethnic group, they bring new practices, traditions, and perspectives to their families and communities, enhancing the cultural landscape and encouraging tolerance and understanding.
