Sexual Beliefs

Sexual Beliefs

     The Rorapori believe that the embryo is solely the the product of the father's seed, and thus a child is only "genetically" related to his father's family. Marriages within the patrilineal family are considered incestuous within five degrees of separation. However, marriage to the child(ren) of one's father's sister or one's mother's siblings are not taboo.

"Levirate" Marriage

     If a Rorapori dies in a monogamous marriage, and the man's father is still alive, his, the deceased's, eldest brother, or his immediately younger brother if the deceased brother is the eldest, must marry the widow and raise the children. If the father is dead, the youngest brother then marries the widow, following Rorapori ultigeniture.
