• ... that in some societies your spouse's sibling is also your sibling's spouse?

• New enough, long enough, no copyvio per earwig, hook is good and interesting, QPQ not needed as no prior DYKs. Good faith assumed on offline sources. Two small points @Ле Лой::
  • Busse (1987) appears to be a PhD thesis - please could you provide details in the citation to confirm this and who was the supervisor
    • Yes, it's a PhD thesis,  Done. The advisor was Donald Tuzin, I can't find a field for that in the template; how is it usually done? Le Loy 00:27, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
  • In your first edit you mentioned Elon Musk in the summary - what is the connection?
    • It's a popular joke in Russian segment of the internet; it showcases something unusual and/or bizarre. This type of marriage exchange is virtually unknown + it was rather difficult to wrap my head around the literature. Basically, it means "whoa" as in here. Le Loy 00:27, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
