Consanguineous marriages have decreased significantly (p < 0.01) among the Kamma of Andhra Pradesh over the past forty years. The decline in uncle-niece marriages has contributed heavily to the decline in consanguinity, which may be due to shifting from agriculture to other occupations like government service and the rapid growth of industrialization. More recently, the tendency toward a lower consanguinity rate has been strengthened by reduction in number of children per marriage which reduces the number of eligible cousins. Marriages beyond first cousin have remained more or less constant.
在过去四十年里，安得拉邦卡马人的近亲婚姻显著减少（p < 0.01）。叔侄婚姻的减少对近亲关系的下降起了很大作用，这可能是由于从农业转向政府服务等其他职业以及工业化的快速发展。最近，由于每对婚姻生育子女数量减少， eligible cousins数量减少，近亲结婚率降低的趋势得到了加强。一级表亲以外的婚姻基本保持稳定。
