"... to get around this religious prohibition."

[Odessa Dawn]

Hi everyone!

​

Context:

Salah said that the factors behind this widespread phenomenon include the harsh economic conditions, the high illiteracy rates among people in the rural areas, and their lack of religious understanding. Exchange marriage is actually prohibited in Islam, so Salah says that some people agree to pay low dowries to each other in order to get around this religious prohibition. For example, what might have been an expected dowry of $5,000 might instead end up no more than $100, according to Salah.

I had to check up some dictionaries to make sure that the exact meaning of "get around" in the given text is evade. In brief, does that definition make sense to you, please?

Thank you.
