Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a matrilineal society, inheritance and succession pass from the mother's brother to her son. This means that the child's maternal uncle is more important than their biological father. Women may still occupy important positions, but it is not a defining feature of matrilineal societies. Men are not necessarily afraid of women and marriages may or may not be stable, as stability is influenced by many factors beyond the social structure.
