Question

Differentiate between parallel and cross cousin marriage.

Answer 1

 In parallel cousin marriage is marriage between the children of same gendar siblings. Say a mother's daughter marries her sister's son. These two newly weds would be the result of parallel cousin marriage, where the children of two sisters or two brothers marry. The marriage of two brother's children is more common of these types of cousin arrangements. This is called patrilateral parallel cousin marriage.

Now, cross cousin marriage occurs when children of siblings of the opposite gendar marry, basically the opposite of parallel cousin marriage. Let's say a father's son marries the daughter of the father's sister.

Answer 2

Explanation:

A parallel marriage is a marriage where the man and the woman (married couple) live under the same home but live separate lives in the same house. In this case, they don't share their hearts. They usually have a link to sexual dissatisfaction. Cross cousin marriage, on the other hand, occurs when cousins are wedded as opposite-sex siblings through an arranged marriage by their parents.
