How do you show patrilineal exogamy on a kinship chart?

Question

I have a kinship chart here and I need to recognize Ego's (who is in the lowest descent line) preferred marriage partners if his culture practices patrilineal exogamy.

Trick question?? Isn't exogamy OUTSIDE of the family?

Answer 1

Actually exogamy can mean marrying outside of many kinds of groups, from simply the family group to an entire clan or village.  Patrilineal exogamy would mean to marry outside of the line of the father, meaning siblings and blood relatives on the father's side are taboo.  The area of the kinship chart you have showing relatives on the mother's side (perhaps cousins) not blood related to the father would be acceptable marriage partners.

Answer 2

To show patrilineal exogamy you need to focus on who the men marry. And exogamy means outside of whatever social class that person is in. So his preferred marriage partners would be just about anyone in any social class. Unlike in rural India where you can only marry inside your social class.
