<BR>> what is the origin/lineage/reasoning of the "Murai Maman" 
<BR>>relationship in tamilians ?
<BR>
<BR>I can furnish some information about the traditional 
<BR>practices pertaining to 'muRai mAaman'. We can explain 
<BR>the practice in line with cross-clan marriage. But the 
<BR>origins and lineage are not very clear to me. 
<BR>Dr.Ganesan might have more to say on this.
<BR>I will elaborate further when I finish the 
<BR>intricate project that I am involved in. 
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>> is it only with the tamilians or is it a dravidian tradition ?
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>It seems to be prevalent more among the Tamils
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>> how do i explain this to the western/non-dravidian folks...?
<BR>
<BR>As I suggested - cross-clan marriage.
<BR>
<BR>Regards
