Do any of you know the story behind striking "The man may not marry any of his wife's kindred nearer in blood than he may of his own; nor the woman of her husband's kindred nearer in blood than of her own." from the original WCF? Surely there is some historical tidbit that would shed light on this. Was it a result of demographics (not enough nice young reformed ladies to marry)? What was their reasoning?
