consanguinity

consanguinity
A consanguine relationship is a kin relationship based on descent from a common (male or female) ancestor, who may not necessarily be a blood relation. Social anthropologists point out that fictive relationships can be just as important as actual biological ties when tracing consanguinity (as is often the case with clans ). A. R. Radcliffe-Brown argued that kinship is a better term than consanguinity, because it does not imply a blood relationship.
