Description
"The central feature of matriliny is that it confers on women permanent rights to maintenance by and residence in their natal home (or taravad). This gives them a degree of autonomy which is not possible in the patrilineal system. This study examines what matriliny means to women and how and why it changed in erstwhile Travancore, an independent princely state till 1947"--Jacket.
