Endogamy is the practice of marrying within a social group due to social norms which encourage or require such unions.
For instance when tribal membership is determined by patrilineal lines, a woman who marries outside a tribe leaves that tribe. As a result, marriage between cousins or second cousins is frequent and encouraged.
The opposite of endogamy is exogamy.
