"The Kachins practice what has been termed "matrilateral cross-cousin marriage"-- this means that a man may marry women only from his mother's patrilineage (his mayu, or "wife-giving", lineage), and a woman may only marry a man from her father's sister's husband's patrilineage (dama, or "wife getting" lineage). A lineage may not be both dama and mayu vis-a-vis another lineage. This is certain only for the Jinghpaw and Gauri groups; it is not known whether or not the Maru and Lashi groups practice preferential marriage (Leach 1954:203)" (174). The author refers to this as the "cousin circle path" (KMM-CODER COMMENT).
