Svelte,
I really feel sorry for you to report this report when you have option for better things too. Anyway this all happens (manyatimes more idiotic)in a small pocket of Haryana where old customs still prevail and not in India per say. While your writeup presents it like it's general practice there, it's called aberrations and in a country of 1.2 billion you can find such aberrations frequently and make some bigots to laugh on.
The writer, unknowingly, writes that amongst "clan" marriages can't happen, actually it's 'gotra' (same family linegae) where in same 'gotra' marriages can't happen and it's a old custom & now medically proven it's significance.
The said couple will now move to 200 kms away in delhi and will live like husband wife. No worries Guyz!!!
