Thus, persons may be expected to marry outside their <a href="/wiki/Totem" title="Totem">totem</a> clan(s) or other groups, in addition to outside closer blood relatives. </p><p>Researchers have proposed different theories to account for the origin of exogamy. <a href="/wiki/Edvard_Westermarck" title="Edvard Westermarck">Edvard Westermarck</a> said an aversion to marriage between blood relatives or near <a href="/wiki/Kinship" title="Kinship">kin</a> emerged with a parental deterrence of <a href="/wiki/Incest" title="Incest">incest</a>. From a genetic point of view, aversion to breeding with close relatives results in fewer congenital diseases. If one person has a faulty gene, breeding outside his group increases the chances that his partner will have another functional type gene and their child may not suffer the defect. Outbreeding favours the condition of <a href="/wiki/Zygosity" title="Zygosity">heterozygosity</a>, that is having two nonidentical copies of a given gene. <a href="/wiki/J._F._McLennan" class="mw-redirect" title="J.

Men were obliged to seek wives from other groups, including <a href="/wiki/Marriage_by_capture" class="mw-redirect" title="Marriage by capture">marriage by capture</a>, and exogamy developed as a cultural custom. </p><p><a href="/wiki/%C3%89mile_Durkheim" title="Émile Durkheim">Émile Durkheim</a><sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> derives exogamy from <a href="/wiki/Totemism" class="mw-redirect" title="Totemism">totemism</a>. He said that a people had religious respect for the blood of a totemic clan, for the clan totem is a god and is present especially in the blood, a sacred substance. </p><p>In some forms of <a href="/wiki/Hinduism" title="Hinduism">Hinduism</a> such as <a href="/wiki/Shaktism" title="Shaktism">Shaktism</a>, people can only marry outside their <a href="/wiki/Gotra" title="Gotra">gotra</a> which is a traditional group of people who may be distantly related but have been living in the same area or have an ancestral home in the same area. </p><p>Morgan<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> maintains that exogamy was introduced to prevent marriage between blood relations, especially between brother and sister, which had been common in an earlier state of promiscuity. Frazer<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> says that exogamy was begun to maintain the survival of family groups, especially when single families became larger political groups. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Claude_L%C3%A9vi-Strauss" title="Claude Lévi-Strauss">Claude Lévi-Strauss</a> introduced the "Alliance Theory" of exogamy,<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> that is, that small groups must force their members to marry outside so as to build alliances with other groups. According to this theory, groups that engaged in exogamy would flourish, while those that did not would all die, either literally or because they lacked sufficient ties for cultural and economic exchange, leaving them at a disadvantage.
