Russian term or phrase: взаимобрачующихся
How should I translate this term? Neither this term nor any of its lemmas are in any of my dictionaries?

Here is the original context: (The term appears in the last sentence.)

В казахской свадебной традиции очень пассивен жених, он не действует активно, а выполняет лишь указания дружка и предписания обычая25. Но зато полной его противоположностью является дружка жениха («куйеу жолдас»).
Обычно на эту роль берут либо ближайшего друга жениха с детства («дос»), либо кого-то из старших родственников (чаще- зятя), которые отличаются большим остроумием, находчивостью, умеют хорошо импровизировать, петь, балагурить и, самое главное, - очень хорошо знают обычаи и обряды, связанные со свадебным процессом.
В этом отношении он напоминает дружка жениха в русской традиционной свадьбе. Многое у них сходно, поскольку функция их одна и восходит она к древним ритуальным состязаниям взаимообрачующихся фратрий и родов.

Later, in a third settlement stage, two intermarrying clans from the two moieties moved together to reduce distances, share resources, and increase village security.

Contrary to a view that has become popular, it is argued that Ji and Jiang could not have been the names of two originally separate peoples with different geographical origins that came together and formed an intermarrying alliance but were the names of the two leading, intermarrying clans of a single people.

His list of what he calls " exogamous tribes " is contained in Chap- ter V. of " Studies in Ancient History," and of all those tribes there is not one which satisfies his own conditions. Without exception, they are all divided into exogamous intermarrying clans ; and therefore they can get wives without capturing them from other tribes.

Explanation:
взаимобрачующиеся (экзогенные)

"Мифопоэтический" подход к окружающему миру существовал еще до возникновения современной науки. Важнейшая черта мифопоэтической модели мира - кодирование его посредством универсальной системы полярных символов. В эту систему входит противопоставление двух половин суток (день - ночь) и двух времен года (лето - зима или весна - осень). Последнее занимает центральное место в мифологиях и ритуалах народов мира. Известно, что дуальное членение архаических обществ на две **взаимобрачующиеся (экзогенные) **половины соотнесено соответственно с двумя половинами времени года.

Notes to answerer
Asker: My software also identified this as a typo, but it is definitely not a typo. Among other things, the full text contains the same form at least twice, which seems unlikely - though not entirely unheard of - if it were a typographical error.

agree  Zahar Fialkovsky: If looked up on the WWW both suggestions are found together quite often: intermarrying exogenous clans.

  -> thank you zahar, i noticed the exogenous as well, but that just means the clans are not realted to each other so it does not seem to fit.
