Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kim's scenario is indicative of a patrilocal society where the wife moves in with her husband's family after marriage and is expected to abide by their authority. In patrilocal societies, the husband's family plays a dominant role in the couple's everyday life and decision-making. Matrilocal societies, on the other hand, expect the husband to move in with the wife's family after marriage. Polygamous and polyamorous societies involve multiple spouses or partners, which is not relevant to Kim's scenario.
