In the context of Anti-khap comments Most humans of today are cross-bred and not born out of incestuous relations or illicit relations for reproduction purpose. Society is not a factory in which humans are produced like goods. As the question of consanguineous marriages was pertinent to European society too, an inquiry was set up by the Anthropological Society of both London and Paris to examine the issue and advice the lay public. The findings were published in the Anthropological Review, Vol.II, May 1864, London. It is relevant and significant for those that have held anti-khap view and sort of new republicans or liberals. If society starts following their liberal norms, there would soon be social and economic chaos that would burn down our homes. They have least understood that the evolution of norms of establishing matrimonial alliances in various communities are matters that are purely and rigidly scientific. Regrettably, they have developed a habit of condemning everything that is related to Khap or Jat community. I would humbly suggest that they should make search endeavours in finding the relevant laws on consanguineous marriages that appeared in USA too as early as (sometimes) in 1860s and also care to find out for reading and future reference the Inquiry Report of the ASL, indicated above.
