Matrilineal Family Extended Family
A matrilineal family extended family refers to a social unit in which lineage, inheritance, and kinship are traced through the maternal line. This type of extended family typically includes multiple generations living together or in close proximity, with a strong emphasis on the roles and responsibilities of women within the family structure. Matrilineal family extended families often prioritize the well-being and support of maternal relatives, and may have distinct customs, traditions, and rituals that reinforce the importance of maternal lineage.
