Quizplus · Accepted Answer

People are more likely to have access to individuals who are similar to themselves, whether it be through shared social circles, cultural events, or other factors that bring them into contact with people who belong to the same group. This proximity can lead to increased familiarity and comfort with individuals from similar backgrounds, which may lead to a higher likelihood of marriage.
