The custom of marrying outside a social class, community, clan, tribe
or other social unit.
The fusion of
reproductive cells from distantly related or unrelated individuals;
outbreeding; cross-pollination.
The opposite of exogamy is endogamy.
Referring to finding one's spouse outside of the community, clan or tribe, I am certainly to be called exogamous; 1st marriage was to a Sicilian, 2nd to a Yorkshire lad :-)
