RuSHA was created to monitor Heinrich Himmler's 1931 order that the marital decisions of unmarried SS men should be supervised by the Nazi state.

With time, the marriage laws became less strict, but RuSHA's power progressively grew in scope and other organizations came under its umbrella, such as the Ahnenerbe.
