The latter writer says generally: “Cousins cannot enter the same house, and must not eat out of the same dish. A man cannot marry his cousin.” But from Mr. Roscoe’s researches it appears that a man has only to avoid certain cousins, called kizibwewe, that is, the daughters either of his father’s sisters or of his mother’s brothers.
[91.1] Rev. J. Roscoe, op. cit. p. 129. Among the women with whom man was forbidden to have sexual relations under pain of death were (besides his cousins mentioned above) his father’s sister, his daughter, and his wife’s sister’s daughter. See J. Roscoe, op. cit. pp. 131, 132. The reason alleged for avoiding a mother-in-law, namely, because a man has seen her daughter’s nakedness (compare above, p. [76]) is probably a later misinterpretation of the custom.

“Xosas, Tembus, and Pondos: marry no relative by blood, however distant, on either father’s or mother’s side.
“Hlubis and others commonly called Fingos: may marry the daughter of mother’s brother and other relatives on that side, but not on father’s side.
“Basuto, Batlaro, Batlapin, and Barolong: very frequently marry cousins on father’s side, and know of no restrictions beyond actual sisters.”
