Anti-miscegenation laws are laws that enforce racial segregation at the level of marriage and intimate relationships by criminalizing interracial marriage, sometimes also criminalizing sex between members of different races. In the United States, interracial marriage, cohabitation and sex have been termed "miscegenation" since the term was coined in 1863.
