'''Intermarriage''' normally refers to [[marriage]] between people belonging to different [[religion]]s, [[tribe]]s, [[nationality|nationalities]] or ethnic backgrounds. It has also been used to mean the opposite, namely marriage within a small group. |
|||
[[Mixed marriage]]s and relationships have probably been a part of human life, to some degree, ever since there were any divisions in the human species at all. Today with increased globalization and its effect on communication and travel, rates of intermarriage appears to be increasing. In most countries, it is totally acceptable, or even encouraged for various reasons. Some have speculated that at some point in the future, intermarriage will blend the human species into one homogeneous group again, or split it into multiple groups with distinct genes (mutational deterministic hypothesis). |
|||
A social norm of "marrying out" is termed ''[[exogamy]]''; the opposite ("marrying in") is called ''[[endogamy]]''. Some parts of the world are characterized by obligatory intermarriage, for example in northwestern Amazonia among the [[Tukanoan languages|Tukanoan]] groups, people are expected to marry outside their own language group (so-called [[linguistic exogamy]]). Patterns of exogamy can be characterized as [[patrilocal]] or [[matrilocal]], depending on whether the couple normally settle with the people of the husband or the wife. |
|||
In racially segregated societies intermarriage may be known by the pejorative term ''[[miscegenation]]''. |

Redirect to:
- From an ambiguous term: This is a redirect from an ambiguous page name to a page or list that disambiguates it. These redirects are pointed to by links that should always be disambiguated. Therefore, this template should never appear on a page that has "(disambiguation)" in its title – in that case use {{R to disambiguation page}} instead.
