Line 1: {{refimprove\|date=December 2012}} '''Avunculate marriage''' refers to a [[marriage]] between an [[uncle]] and a [[Nephew and niece\|a niece or a nephew]],<ref>[http://www.memidex.com/avunculate Avunculate – Memidex dictionary/thesaurus]</ref><ref>[http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/45967/avunculate Avunculate (anthropology) – Encyclopedia Britannica]</ref> or between an [[aunt]] and a nephew or a niece ([[~~degree of relationship~~Consanguinity\|third degree relations]]). In some societies avunculate marriage is prohibited as a form of [[Laws regarding incest\|incest]], while in others it is legal, or even common. The partners of an avunculate marriage have the same genetic relationship as half-siblings or a grandparent and grandchild, sharing on average 25% of their genetic material. This is more than that of a [[cousin marriage\|first cousin relationship]], in which on average the members would share 12.5% of their genetic material, but less than that of cousin-siblings or full siblings.
