as far as i can figure it, that's the biggest driving force behind taboo. people have strong feelings about the choosing of ze life-mates.
and then there's the fact that traditions originated before birth control, dna paternity tests, or really good medical care. back then you only knew the kid was yours if women were monogamous. and having more sex produced more kids which there might not be money to feed. and inheritance was a big deal. and STDS weren't really treatable.
