What does universality of marriage mean? Googling it says it's essentially marrying outside of your own culture - if I'm reading it right. Wouldn't that be the opposite of inbreeding? Which is what you don't want to happen?

If you read it as "universality of marriage" is the risk factor, a lack of it would be the risk in this case.
