This cultural practice followed by Mary's family is an example of endogamy. Inbreeding is the union through marriage or reproductive purposes between members of the same family or ethnic or social group (for example, a religious group). This practice is common in many countries with very dominant cultures or in religious groups, where race or culture is expected to be conserved through offspring.

I hope my answer can help you.
