EspañolPATRILOCAL RESIDENCE
(Redirected from Patrilocal)
A 'patrilocal residence' or patrilocal society is where the family unit lives near the male relations. The concept of location may extend to a larger area such as a village, town or clan area.
For example, when a man marries, his wife joins him in his father's home or compound, where they raise their children. These children will follow the same pattern: Sons will stay, and daughters will move in with their husbands' families.
Families living in a patrilocal residence generally assume joint ownership of domestic sources. The household is led by a senior member, who also directs the labor of all other members.
This practice is found in roughly 69% of the world's societies.
Matrilocal residence may be regarded as the ''de facto'' opposite of patrilocal residence. However, since the majority of societies exhibit at least some degree of male authority, in most matrilocal groups the brothers (or mothers' brothers) are the authority figures, not the wives or mothers themselves.
