A marriage is more stable when compatibility is established due to shared cultural background and values.

In a tribal context, we Europeans, though not engaging in close-cousin marriages, would have been living in tight-knit clan groups whereby clan members would interact with members of the other allied clans at tribe gatherings and other occasions.

It would have been like a “small town” type of environment where if everyone doesn’t know everyone, you can place people by asking who their kin are.
