		What is less well known is that in most of the documented cases, the relationship has assumed equity between partners and has essentially been an obligatory and reciprocal one between a man and his wife's male relatives.
		It may then be expected that the family land tenure system, its inheritance pattern, and the frequency of matrilocality are all closely tied up with the principles and practice of exchange labour.

	The Scientist : Consequences of patrilocality
		Female migrations explain population differences in the diversity of Y chromosomes compared to mitochondrial DNA.
		Patrilocality (in which a woman moves to her mate's residence upon marriage) and matrilocality (in which women stay put and the men move) should be reflected in intra- and inter-group differences in the diversity of Y-chromosome and mitochondrial DNA sequences, inherited from the father and mother, respectively.
		They analysed 360 base pairs from the mitochondrial DNA first hypervariable region and short tandem repeat (STR) loci from the Y chromosome, and found that the mitochondrial DNA haplotype diversity was higher in all the patrilocal groups, whereas the Y-STR diversity was greatest in the matrilocal groups.

	IngentaConnect Maize, Matrilocality, Migration, and Northern Iroquoian Evolution
		The co-occurrence of matrilocality and maize-based agriculture among historical northern Iroquoian groups of New York and southern Ontario has long been of interest to anthropologists and archaeologists.

		Matrilocality arose because it allowed a focus on external warfare by men against the hostile original inhabitants.
