The German Iranologist Walther Hinz has suggested that Adur-Anahid was the spouse of her father Shapur I, demonstrating the practice in Zoroastrianism of khwedodah, or close-kin marriage.Шаблон:Sfn However, this is opposed by other scholars, who have deduced that the title of members of the royal family illustrated their social status rather than family status.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The title of "Queen" was wielded by all women of the royal Sasanian family, including the king's daughters and sisters, and the spouses of Sasanian princes.Шаблон:Sfn The title of Adur-Anahid thus demonstrated her status as the highest ranking woman in the court.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn There is no suggestion that she practiced kwedodah with her father.Шаблон:Sfn According to the modern historian Maria Brosius, "Analysis of the written evidence for the Sasanian period does not permit the conclusion that the Sasanian kings favored incestuous marriages."Шаблон:Sfn
