Just fucking check there is no common ancestor for last 5 generations if you are concerned about genetic risks. Whats the point of gotra should be different nignoggery?

Its a stupid ass system. Why rule out so many potentially good healthy spouses over a retarded system? Anything beyond 5th cousin is pretty much a stranger genetically. Gotra does not even consider matrilieal ancestry. Its a stupid ass system

As long as you marry beyond 5th cousin it does not matter. All humans are distantly related after all. Any genetic issues arising can be fixed by eugenics/selection practiced by community.
