Rules of Descent Patriarchal - Patrilineal

Child/Adult division Mother raises children – Boys > Girls. Boys are encouraged to be fierce and violent. Girls must learn and work, boys are free to play. Children are more vulnerable – souls are not firm

Reproduction/ Family Organisation Nuclear family by age. Fathers die, Boys become “boss” Marriages are arranged by a father or elder male kin. Villages range from 40 – 300. Adults < Children.

Male / Female division Girls have chores as children and act as a second mother. Girls marry younger than men, and have very little choice in who they marry. Their lives change very little when married Women are 100% under the control and command of their husband, they are often beaten, this is often considered as a sign of affection. (Protected by brothers). Women are respected much more when they are older. Women offer deliver messages an recover bodies. Stranger villages abduct, rape and keep women.
