      Medieval marriage is widely discussed. WIDELY discussed. Georges Duby is a classic, albeit outdated perhaps now.

      Any of you scientists who claim to want to know more about it? Go to google scholar and input "medieval consanguinity" or "medieval marriage" or "medieval families" or something of the like.

      I went through the sources on this: I saw @rmkarras cited for a brief comment about early medieval Europe before the Church started to mandate marriage as a sacrament.

      Yes, the Church advocated consent. Didn't always happen, and arranged marriages occurred a lot. However, adoption: not banned, fosterage was common in early medieval Ireland. Households were not nuclear, and may have contained many relatives and different families

      Concubinage also continued, for a long time. Not necessarily "legally" but shall I point to the Merovingians? Also, remarriage happened SO OFTEN. The idea of "weak" kinship ties is...very inaccurate.

      Kinship was an ever changing thing. For nobles it defined your right to inherit titles, and primogeniture was not the norm for a long time. Also, people invented kinships and genealogies.

      But the fact that their data cannot account for peasantry of which we have very spotty demographic marriage data, then this whole study is ridiculous.

      And also, it totally ignores the fact that cousin marriages were in fact very common in the post-medieval period. Like please explain to me how this works when 18th and 19th c England and Ireland have many examples of cousin marriage.

      Also at least two Jane Austen novels. Oh and Jane Eyre!

          Every Jane Austen novel. Mansfield Park is the best because it is cousin/sibling relationship. Plus most industrialists used cousin marriage.
