Banned From Community
The above picture represents the shunning that people have to face when it comes to being excommunicated from the community. Based on the deeds that you have done, once shunned, you will be given a barn to live and all the proceedings thereafter will be done as treating an outsider. The time period of your ban can vary based on your time. You might think this ends up being quite harsh, the primary purpose behind this is to make people believe that they have done some mistake and apologize to the concerned person or community.
Testing Your DNA
This is a tradition that is seen quite a lot in modern times. Everyone is getting their DNA tested to find more about themselves along with their ancestors. This is made possible by the equipment developed by modern technological developments. Well, Amish people are the ones who are not ready to accept this. This is the primary reason why marrying immediate cousins or third cousins is such a simple and common practice in the Amish religion. They believe that it is up to God who is in favor of inbreeding.
