    Additionally, they will not marry anyone with the same last name. The incest taboo for the Lincüt means not marrying or having sexual relationships with kin up to and including your second cousin, so exogamy keeps the possibility of marrying kin minimal. Anik and Ila Yazzie married nine years ago when Ila was 15 and Anik was 25. The couple currently lives with Anik’s family in a small, close knit village of Snowsquall, approximately 100 people, located on the island’s eastern sea coastline; the village includes approximately ten extended households. An extended household contains more than one family unit that are related. In Anik and Ila’s circumstance, they live with their two children, Anik’s father and mother, and Anik’s brother’s family. In the Lincüt custom, nearly all adult couples living in Lincüt villages are in a monogamous marriage, which consists of two people. Following the pattern of other foragers, such as the Ju/’hoansi, Hazda, and Aleut-Inuits, who believe in the practice of polygyny, but have a low rate of polygyny marriage, which is a marriage involving one man with multiple wives (Walker, Hill, Flinn, & Ellsworth, 2011, p. 4).

    The term Polygamy (literally much marriage in Greek) is used in related ways in social anthropology and sociobiology. In social anthropology, polygamy is the practice of marriage to more than one spouse simultaneously (as opposed to monogamy where each person has only one spouse at a time). Like monogamy, the term is often used in a de facto sense, applying regardless of whether the relationships are recognized by the state. In sociobiology, polygamy is used in a broad sense to mean any form of multiple mating. In a narrower sense, used by zoologists, polygamy includes a pair bond, perhaps temporary. In this sense, multiple mating is defined as promiscuous.…

    In the tribal villages of eastern Africa the Maasai marriages are arranged by the elders without ever first consulting the bride or the mother of the bride to be. Unlike, that of my own culture in the United States of America, where I am free as a citizen to choose whomever I may choose to marry and when and if I may marry. Polygyny is that of which is practiced in the Maasai culture, as an ideal that is achieved only by that of the elder men of the tribe. Unfortunately, as a result ofthemen being much older at the time of marriage, most women become widows, knowing that it is understood that they should never remarry again. Although, I myself practice monogamy, as it is tradition in my culture and that of what is expected by me, my community, and my family.…

    However, in other cultures, such as the Sobtenga people of Burkina Faso, wealthy men practice polygyny, they can marry two or more wives and this is indisputably a norm within that society. Possessing a small number of cattle guarantees the security of the wives and this practice is supposedly more common than polyandry in that society.(Haralambos M & Langley P). Alternatively polyandry is habitual practice amongst the Todas of India and the Marquesan islanders. Two or more men marry one wife to combat the economic hardship of fending for a wife and offsprings .(Browne K.p253). Concentrating on the Zinacantepec community of southern Mexico enhances this argument. They don't focus the concept of the word family only as a parent-child relationship. Instead their basic social unit comprises of complex families, meaning a joint or multiple families related or not related, sharing a single dwelling.(Ponzetti J).…

    The bride’s arrival is typically indicated by a set of rituals or festivities. The marriage celebration consists of the bride being escorted to her husband’s compound. The bride is usually “greeted by dancing and singing” (Bohannan & Bohannan, 73; 1953). Having sexual relations with an individual whom one has common grandparents with is considered to be incest in the Tiv culture. Elopement or ii kwase as the Tiv call it, is defined as “stealing a wife.” Elopement is rather common in the Tiv culture, as well, for the guardian or parents of the girl come to the husbands compound, “or, especially if its the man’s first wife, his father gores to her compound and steps are taken to regularize the marriage by agreement to pay bride-wealth” (Bohannan & Bohannan 72; 1953). Stealing a wife provides great prestige to a…
