	Patrilineality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Patrilineality (a.k.a agnatic kinship) is a system in which one belongs to one's father's lineage; it generally involves the inheritance of property, names or titles through the male line as well.
		A patriline is a line of descent from a male ancestor to a descendant (of either sex) in which the individuals in all intervening generations are male.
		In a patrilineal descent system (= agnatic descent), an individual is considered to belong to the same descent group as his or her father.

	Patrilineal fertility decline along the Croatian frontier: 1720 - 1850 (29-Oct-1995)
		In 1976 Richard Easterlin proposed a scenario for the occurrence of high fertility on the edge of a rolling frontier and its decline behind that frontier as the frontier rolled forward.
		To be linked to a patriline, a child must be born or marry within the region.
		Thus, while the apparent fertility decline may indeed reflect smaller numbers of children ever-born, it may also reflect the tendency of males with few prospects of land-inheritance to out-migrate either before marriage or before all their children are born.

	Contrast Between Matrilineal and Patrilineal Descent (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In matrilineal descent groups there is an element of potential strain in the fact that the sister is a tabooed sexual object for her brother, while at the same time her sexual and reproductive activities are a matter of interest to him.
		In patrilineal descent groups, the sexual and reproductive activities of women are of more concern to their husbands than to their brothers.
		In patrilineal descent groups, the statuses of mother and wife are essential.

		Thus, as was anticipated earlier in this chapter, it would seem that there is in fact some correlation between the extent to which a woman's ties with her own agnatic kin are dissolved by marriage to the advantage of her husband's group, and the stability of marriage.
		In such patrilineal societies with stable marriage as the Nuer [See note 2] and kgatla, [See note] however, where a women is firmly integrated in her husband's group, it is the latter who are responsible at law for the person and possessions of the wife.
		In patrilineal societies, where men and women are subject to similar agnatic allegiances and where a wife retains much of her premarital legal status, marriage seems to be unstable.

		An important adjunct of the patrilineal principle is patrilocal residence, in which a woman moves to her husband's family at the time of marriage.
		Which was the more representative or stronger patrilineal organization, Lewis asked, and he concluded that one was not more patrilineal than the other; they were simply alternative methods of organization, which of course had an effect on the power and property relations in the lives of these women and their brothers and husbands.
		Patrilineal household organization is probably not necessary for the institution of patriarchy (see counter-examples in (Tibet and NW France, for example)), but it certainly facilitates patriarchal domination.

	mother-s-brother
		The article revisits the old controversy concerning the relation of the mother's brother and sister's son in patrilineal societies in the light both of anthropological criticisms of the very notion of kinship and of evolutionary and epidemiological approaches to culture.
		One is wholly dominating, in this case patrilineal descent and inheritance, while the other, the rights of the sister's son, takes the form or an authorized transgression with ritual aspects, the very transgressive character of which contributes to the stabilization of the dominant patrilineal norm.
		Thus the combination of the dominant patrilineal norm internalized by all members of the society, and the psychological factors favoring all close kin render people receptive and welcoming to a norm of ritualized expression of sister's son rights.

	Bioline International Official Site (site up-dated regularly)
		A patrilineal marriage involves permanent incorporation of a woman in her husband’s lineage and complete transfer of her reproductive power to her husband’s family through payment of bridewealth.
		Among the patrilineal groups (the Tsonga and Sena/Ndau) the process is centred on the payment of bridewealth from the boy’s family to the girl’s family, while among the matrilineal groups (the Lomwe/Chuwabo and Macua) such payments are not required.
		The fact that marriage is later among the patrilineal (Tsonga and Sena/Ndau) than the matrilineal (Lomwe/Chuwabo and Macua) ethnic groups, reflects a greater importance given to the bride-wealth payment in the marriage process of patrilineal groups.

		She ignores the implicit coercion of the triangle, which demands woman's submission to an economic contract; she behaves, at the beginning of the play, as if she is secure in the possession of her body and in control of its commodification.
		The patrilineal bonds from which father, son, and husband derive their social and class privilege is threatened by Evadne's desire.

		Thus her e, as in the Somali case, marriage implies some measure of corporate union where the wife is married to her husband's group as a whole; and yet marriage is unstable.
		Thus neither in logic nor in reality are there grounds for assuming that marriage in patrilineal societies necessarily involves the permanent transfer of genetricial rights to the husband and his group.
		It is merely tautological to state that in those patrilineal societies where genetricial rights are permanently held by a husband marriage is stable, whereas in other cases where they are not held permanently marriage is unstable.

		The ancient Hebrew kinship system was patrilineal and segmented; thus, understanding patrilinealism and segmentary organization is essential to understanding ancient Hebrew kinship.
		Patrilinealism (like matrilinealism) is unilineal; that is, the descent rule uses one line only, either the male (patrilineal) or female (matrilineal) line.
		Turning the focus now to the ancient Hebrew System, the most obvious example of SLO in their patrilineal structure is found in the twelve tribes of Israel.

		This is a way for them to repay the debt with their services, but in particular to show the need for the wives to be incorporated into the husbands' parental household, together with the willingness of the kin group to guide and to assist the newly married in their marital responsibilities.
		Strictly speaking, the Hmong's kinship system is not patrilineal with the inclusion of in-married women into the kin group and the exclusion of daughters who marry into other clans.
		Not all households result in a lineage in a patrilineal society such as that of the Hmong, particularly when there are only daughters born in the group.

	Family Structure, Women’s Education and Work: Re-examining the High Status of Women in Kerala: International ...
		Conventionally and very generally women’s property rights in patrilineal societies tended to be organized around marriage, in a range of practices including the transfer of women and change in their kin identity, residence, dowry, exchange of gifts, and obligations at childbirth.
		That is to take one instance, if dowry (otherwise associated with patrilineal groups) is becoming a very general practice, it has failed to retain its characteristics (linked to social sanction and regulation) of the mid-twentieth century even among the patrilineal groups.
		Processes of reform of matrilineal and patrilineal families leading to legislation in the first half of the twentieth century established the basis of patrifocal families in Kerala.

		Currently, anthropological theory relates the kind of kinship system - whether through one or both parents - with certain property theories, though this idea is in dispute.
		Essentially, it is very common among property systems to have the community own property where kinship is reckoned both through patrilineal and matrilineal systems, but property is owned by the family if only one method of reckoning is used.
		Exceptions to this rule have been documented, but it remains the prevailing assumption of tribal ownership.
