Endogamy is defined as the practice of marrying within one's own group.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Sometimes
• D. Rarely

Answer: (A)

Endogamy is a marriage rule that directs people to marry within their own social group, such as within the same kin group, caste, religion, ethnicity, or nationality. This is precisely what the term means, so describing endogamy as marrying within one’s own group is correct. While some societies enforce endogamy more strictly than others, the definition itself remains about who you marry, not how often it happens. Statements like sometimes or rarely refer to how common the practice is, not what the practice entails, so they don’t define endogamy.
