 Clan traditions --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I guess it is still illegal to marry within your clan despite the fact that we are in the 21st centuary.I know of two instances, in one the lady ,mind you she already had a baby ,was told that according to traditions of the Kales she could not stay in the home because of the fact that she was from the same clan and therefore the elders wished her all the best and hoped that she would later get another matrimonial home and she was sent back home[/i]

The problem with marrying very close relatives was and it is still not encouraged anyway. So inter clan marriages is practised inorder to avoid genetic/heredity problems and even curses which may have been associated with the particular families from extending.
You have seen the Indians have the highest no. of body disformities & disabilities (but they hide) just because they marry within close relationship.
