Sonia bitiya,

We would do that, but theres only like 15 families in the village, and we dont want to encourage any more inbreeding...

i guess my point was that they should just marry women from their own village, who have to walk miles to get water anyway. Unless of course theres not enough women to go around.

Sonia – In some villages the wells or river/streams are close by and one doesn’t have to walk a distance to fetch water. Where as in some villages the distance is in miles.

So Im a little confused here (and the confusion may stem from a caffeinated and final induced delirium).

So arent these women from the same village? And if so they probably walk miles to fetch water for their families. So are their parents worried about their daughter's well-being or concerned that the will be losing their own water-fetcher.
