I therefore propose to term the three types matrilocal, removal, and patrilocal marriages. |
Residence is also matrilocal, so that young couples go to live with the wife's family. |
Each band is related to a geographic area, and based on a family group that maintains matrilocal residence. |
The basic socioeconomic unit was the matrilocal extended family, a group of one or more related women, their husbands and unmarried sons, and their daughters, sons-in-law, and grandchildren. |
Western apologists for tyranny argue that women retain power within the tribe's matrilocal family units. |
Marriage is matrilocal, giving rise to extended families of several generations in which the son-in-law is under the authority of his wife's father. |
