Exogamy - Gaikonsei (English spelling)

Japanese: 外婚制 - がいこんせい(英語表記)exogamy
Exogamy - Gaikonsei (English spelling)
A marriage system that prohibits members of a group from choosing a spouse from within the group. Groups in which exogamy is practiced include kinship groups, regional groups, residential groups, and hierarchical groups. The most common form is exogamy among kinship groups, particularly in unilineal groups such as lineages and clans, as well as in polygamists and half tribes. The practice of not marrying within the same sex is also a form of exogamy. There are various explanations for the origin and significance of exogamy, but the significance of its extension of the incest taboo to a specific area and its significance in forming solidarity through marriage with an outside group cannot be ignored.

Japanese:
ある集団の成員に対して,その集団の内部から配偶者を選定することを禁止する婚姻制度。外婚制のみられる集団には,親族集団,地域集団,居住的あるいは階層的集団などがある。最も一般的な形態は親族集団の外婚制であり,とりわけリニージや氏族などの単系出自集団,さらには胞族や半族などにその例がみられる。同姓不婚の慣行も外婚制の一形態である。外婚制の起源や意義についてはさまざまな説明があるが,基本的にはインセストタブーの特定範囲への拡張という意義と,外部集団との婚姻による連帯の形成という意義を無視するわけにはいかない。
