Matrilineality is a system in which descent is traced through the mother and maternal ancestors. Matrilineality is also a societal system in which one belongs to one s matriline or mother s lineage, which can involve the inheritance of property and or titles. A matriline is a line of descent from a female ancestor to a Kinship descendant of either sex in which the individuals in all intervening generations are mothers a mother line. In a matrilineal Kinship and descent descent system an individual is considered to belong to the same descent group as her or his mother. This matrilineal descent pattern is in contrast to the more common pattern of patrilineal descent from which a Family name is usually derived.

Jews and Judaism sidebar Matrilineality in Judaism is the view that people born of a Jewish mother are themselves Judaism Jewish . The Torah does not explicitly discuss the conferring of Jewish status through matrilineality , and in apparent contrast to this position, the Tanakh Hebrew Bible provides many examples of Israelites Israelite men whose children by foreign women appear to have been accepted as Israelite. However, oral Torah Jewish oral tradition codified in Mishnah by the 2nd century CE maintains that matrilineality was always the rule, and adduces indirect textual evidence from the Torah, with the implicit assumption that the women in question converted to Judaism. The Mishnah Nashim Kiddushin 3 12 states that, to be a Jew, one must be either the child of a Jewish mother or a Conversion to Judaism convert to Judaism , ger tzedek , righteous convert .

Refimprove date March 2008 Matrilineal succession is a form of hereditary monarchy hereditary succession or other inheritance through which the subject s female relatives are traced back in a matrilineality matrilineal line. Systems matrilineal primogeniture where the eldest female child of the subject is entitled to the hereditary succession before her younger sisters, and her brothers are not entitled at all. matrilineal ultimogeniture where the youngest daughter is the heir. This system is found among the Khasi people Khasis of India. rotation among female relatives. matrilineal seniority , where the eldest sister is succeeded by her next eldest sister, etc, until the surviving sisters have had their turns, at which point the females of the next generation, daughters of these original sisters will have their turns, in order of seniority. Other examples One of early dynasties of China had similar practices. History postulates that there, a father in law was typically succeeded by his son in law. However, this again is obviously not a female succeeding a female, but a form of succession by appointment the monarch chose his successor, and formalized that appointment by marrying the chosen man with a royal daughter, which also worked as a way to legitimize the succession. Matrilineal succession in Africa The order of succession to the position of the Rain Queen is an example in an Africa n culture of matrilineality matrilineal primogeniture not only is dynasty dynastic descent reckoned through the female line, but only females are eligible to inherit.

Crow kinship is a Kinship and descent kinship system used to define family . Identified by Lewis Henry Morgan in his 1871 work Systems of Consanguinity and Affinity of the Human Family , the Crow system is one of the six major kinship systems Eskimo kinship Eskimo , Hawaiian kinship Hawaiian , Iroquois kinship Iroquois , Crow, Omaha kinship Omaha , and Sudanese kinship Sudanese cite 2011 10 17 . Kinship system The system is somewhat similar to the Iroquois kinship Iroquois system , but distinguishes between the mother s side and the father s side. Relatives on the mother s side of the family have more descriptive terms, and relatives on the father s side have more classificatory terms. The Crow system is distinctive because unlike most other kinship systems, it chooses not to distinguish between certain generations. The relatives of the subject s father s matrilineage are distinguished only by their sex, regardless of their age or generation. In contrast, within Ego s own matrilineage, differences of generation are noted. The system is associated with groups that have a strong tradition of Matrilineality matrilineal descent . In doing so, the system is almost a mirror image of the Omaha kinship Omaha system , which is patrilineal . As with the Iroquois system, the Crow uses Bifurcate Merging . Only the Iroquois kinship Iroquois system uses BM as a secondary name.

M. Nasroen 1907 1968 was an Indonesia n scholar in the field of philosophy . He is most famous for having identified and classified Indonesian philosophy as being separate and different from Western philosophy Western and Eastern philosophy . Nasroen reached the peak of his philosophical career when he was chosen as an emeritus professor of philosophy at the University of Indonesia in Jakarta , one of Indonesia s largest and most respected universities. His 1967 book, Falsafah Indonesia , laid the way for Indonesian scholars to start treating Indonesian Philosophy as a separate area of study. In it, Nasroen argues that the uniqueness of Indonesian philosophy is manifested in philosophical notions, such as mupakat , pantun pantun , Pancasila politics Pancasila , adat hukum adat , ketuhanan , gotong royong mutual aid organization mutual aid , and kekeluargaan Falsafah Indonesia pp.14, 24, 25, 33, and 38 . Nasroen is also remembered for his work on the philosophy and the customs of the Minangkabau people Minangkabau people of Indonesia s West Sumatra province, presented in his 1957 book Dasar Falsafah Adat Minangkabau . This book is still commonly cited in the fields of women s studies , such as in the writings of Feminist theory feminist Ethnography ethnographer Peggy Reeves Sanday , as Nasroen s book was one of the first to explain the concept of matriarchy in the Minangkabau Matrilineality matrilineal system.

The term Matrilateral describes kin relatives on the mother s side . Social anthropologists have underlined that even where a social group demonstrates a strong emphasis on one or other line of inheritance Matrilineality matrilineal or Patrilineality patrilineal , relatives who fall outside this unilineal grouping will not simply be ignored. So, a strongly patrilineal orientation will be complemented by matrilateral ties with the mother s kin. Likewise within a strongly matrilineal organisation, patrilateral ties will enter the reckoning of relationships as an important balancing factor. This complementarity often has a moral or emotional tone to it Malinowski s classic studies of the matrilineal Trobriand Islands Trobriand islanders showed that matrilineal ties were associated with discipline and authority, while patrilateral ties were characterised by nurturance and kindness at least in principle . Likewise, in Chinua Achebe s novel Things Fall Apart , the hero, Okonkwo is forced into exile from his own ancestral village to the village of his matrilateral kin who should, by rights, treat him with maternal fondness. Matrilateral cross cousin marriage is typically used by anthropologists to describe a form of marriage in which the sons of one consanguineous group marry the daughters of the consanguineous group from which their mother originates. This may take the form of a preference for this kind of cousin marriage or a prescription that this is what will happen. The logical consequences of cross cousin marriage matrilateral or patrilateral for group formation were first discussed in detail by Reo Fortune ref A Note on Some Forms of Kinship Structure Oceania 1933 IV 1 1 9 ref and have provoked a great deal of debate amongst social anthropologists including Claude L vi Strauss , Edmund Leach and Rodney Needham alliance theory .

Ego s father and his brothers are merged and addressed by a single term, and a similar pattern is seen for Ego s mother and her sisters. Marriages take place among people of different gentes or clans in the tribe. Like most other kinship systems, Omaha kinship distinguishes between Parallel and Cross cousins. While Parallel cousin s are merged by term and addressed the same as Ego s siblings, Cross cousin s are differentiated by generational divisions.
