<*Commentary (JW): is actually a taboo or a rule that has been
passed on for generations. With respect to the Kasuga family, it is a taboo
among those who have the Power that they cannot marry "ordinary" people. Of
course, Madoka couldn't have known that much, but she thought the village is
one of those exclusive ones that don't allow outsiders to settle in, and so
mistook the rule as being that only villagers marry villagers... (In the
countryside there has always been a problem of "workforce" and "bride"
shortage, as younger generations tend to move to cities. Grandpa's anti-
city-dwellers sentiment in the past may have reinforced this idea as well.)>
