Indian kinship resists one-size-fits-all translation.

Māmā is not chācā. Cross-cousins are eligible in one community and forbidden in another. This surface stitches the structural signature, the attested-term registry, and the smriti marriage-rule engine into one queryable layer.

100+ scholar-attested terms across 12 Indian languages, 2 launch communities. All citations link to primary dictionaries, ethnographies, or community oral traditions.
