grbs-4021	Morris, Ian	The Gortyn Code and Greek Kinship	1990	22	.pdf	application/pdf	9371	429	64	Cross Cousins in Gortyn I did not refer to the Gortyn Code in Section II, for the good reason that no direct mention of cross-cousin marriage occurs. He even interprets the laws on heiresses as changes in more primitive practices, using as an analogy Briffault's opinions on parallel­ cousin marriage: the custom of marriage with the daughter of one's father's brother among the Arabs and some converts to their religion, although manifestly serving an economic interest, is in reality derived in the first instance from an older rule of cross-cousin marriage, and is, in fact, essentially an adaptation of the matriarchal rule to a patriarchal organization of kinship.	cache/grbs-4021.pdf	txt/grbs-4021.txt
