Question

Given below are two statements:
one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A):
Endogamy is the practice that essentially requires an individual to marry his/her first cousin only. Reason (R):
Exogamy requires the individual to marry outside his/her own group. Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
• B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
• C. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct
• D. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct

Hint:

Endogamy means marriage within the group, while exogamy means marriage outside the group.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept:
Marriage systems in sociology are classified based on rules regarding marriage within or outside social groups.

Step 1:
Endogamy means marriage within one's own social group, caste, tribe, or community.

Step 2:
The assertion is incorrect because endogamy does not specifically require marriage with first cousins only. \[ A \text{ is incorrect} \]

Step 3:
Exogamy means marriage outside one's own social group or category. \[ R \text{ is correct} \]

Step 4:
Since Assertion is false and Reason is true, the correct option must indicate this relationship.

Step 5:
Therefore, the correct answer is: \[ \text{(A) is not correct but (R) is correct} \] \[ \boxed{\text{(4) (A) is not correct but (R) is correct}} \]
