This paper recapitulates Claude Levi-Strauss’ distinctive contribution to our understanding of cousin marriage and its refinements in the context of India. Going beyond Levi-Strauss’ own framework, it argues, first, that incest taboos draw their strength from religious injunctions. From this perspective, the understanding of Muslim kinship in north India would want to include parallel-as well as cross-cousins within the elementary structure of marriage relationships that makes the cousin marriage practices of Muslims intelligible. At a second plane, it investigates the hybrid marriage practices of distinct social groups that grow out of assembling and re-assembling elements of Muslim and Hindu incest prohibitions as well as marriage preferences and thereby contributes to our understanding of sub-continental marriage patterns. From this matrix, the actual choice of a parallel- or cross-cousin as a spouse invites the exploration of kinship and social class, the significance of direct and indirect exchange in marriage and the gendering of cousin marriage practices.

Shaping Land Rights : Tenurial Class, Lineage, and Gender in Malerkotla, India

The subject of women’s rights and title to land has, once again, assumed center stage. In the wake of concerns about the feminization of rural poverty, the question of land rights for women is pressing. This paper delineates the differential modes and implications of self-acquiring and inheriting arable lands within the tenurial classes of the former princely state of Malerkotla in the Sangrur district of Punjab, India. It examines the pattern of legal titles to land from 1890 onwards based largely on the information yielded by the local-level revenue records at Malerkotla and then focuses on the rights of women in the context of the pre-eminently patrilineal transmission of rights in land. Finally, it explores the significance of this enquiry for land and gender studies and possible social interventions.
