Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a study of parallel cousin marriage and other
marriage arrangements among the Ghilzai Pashtun of southeastern Afghanistan. The author
examines the framework of marriage, the strategy of marriage alliances, the arrangement of
marriage and the marriage ceremony, and the structural contexts of marriage in Ghilzai
society. He finds that close cousin marriages tend to be accompanied by marriages farther
afield in order to counter the isolating effects of close cousin marriage. He argues that
the specific character of any single marriage is determined by the history of adjacent
marriages.
