The kinship system of the Aghriā offers new data on Middle Indian kinship and in particular on a dominant peasant caste, immigrated into 'tribal' northwestern Orissa. Their kinship system shows an elaborate terminology as well as an impressive autonomy of the different levels of kinship. The categories, for example, do not correspond to the ideal and practice of cross-cousin marriage, which itself seems to be in the process of change.RésuméLe système de parenté des Aghriā fournit de nouvelles données sur la notion de parenté en Inde centrale, et en particulier chez une caste de paysans dominants qui ont immigré dans le Nord-ouest « tribal » de l'Orissa. Le système de parenté s'accompagne d'une terminologie élaborée ainsi que d'une autonomie impressionnante des différents niveaux de parenté. Les catégories ne correspondent pas, par exemple, à l'idéal ni à la pratique des mariages entre cousins, qui semblent eux-mêmes en train d'évoluer
