Summary of article contents:
Atulya Gotra Vivaha (non-consanguineous marriages), emphasized in Ayurveda and supported by modern genetics, plays a crucial role in reducing the risk of congenital anomalies and genetic disorders. Ancient Ayurvedic texts, such as Acharya °ä³ó²¹°ù²¹°ì²¹â€™s Atulyagotreeya Sharira Adhyaya, advocate marrying outside one's Gotra to prevent the inheritance of faulty genes and ensure healthier progeny. Modern science also confirms that consanguineous marriages increase the risk of autosomal recessive disorders like mental retardation and congenital anomalies. Despite these insights, cultural norms, ignorance, and lack of awareness drive individuals, especially in less-educated communities, to practice consanguineous marriages, risking the life and health of future generations. This review highlights the need for awareness and education regarding the risks of such unions. Promoting Atulya Gotra marriages can help reduce the burden of genetic disorders and protect every child's life, which is invaluable to the well-being of society.
