THEY ALL MARRY COUSINS
Curious Custom of Some Native Tribes
of Southern India.

In some parts of southern India the
natives have q custom Of marriage Le-
tween cousins which is a result of a
strange compromise between two OPP
posite rules Of succession. The natives
are Dravidians, who have come under
Brahmanical influence Among the
Dravidians the mother was the head
Of the family and all descent and in
heritance came through her. The Brah-
manical rule of succession is through
the father
According to T. J. Richards. writing
IN Man the matrilinear community ,
while being unwilling to give up its
traditional custom. saw the advantage
Of insuring TO children the benefit OF
the natural desire of the father-the
worker and provider-to provide for
lis offspring. Therefore they adopted
the custom Of a man marrying the
daughter OF his mothers brother, Of
his fathers sister or of his own sister.
In this way a community in which
all property is inherited through the
mother conforms to the patrilinear So
TEN and so keeps the property In the
family, this, according to Mr.. Rich
ards. being the economical reason for
the strange custom.
