16. Gender Role and Status
The Relative Status of Women and Men. Official labor force figures underestimate the participation of women, many of whom are employed in the informal sector. Women also work in subsistence agriculture.
Despite the economically independent position of many women within their households, in society in general women cannot claim equal status.
The domestic status of women varies.
Women are the emotional and economic center of the household (matrifocality) in many Creole groups
but are subordinated in traditional patriarchal Hindostani circles.

17. Marriage,Family,and Kinship
Although many marriage partners are of the same ethnic group, mixed marriages do take place in Paramaribo
In traditional Hindostani families in the agricultural districts, parents still select partners for their children, Weddings can be very lavish.
Living together without being married is common but is not acceptable to traditional Hindostani, among whom the bride is expected to be a virgin

18. Marriage,Family,and Kinship
In the Caribbean family system, female-headed households and the fact that women have children from different partners are accepted
Some women practice serial monogamy; it is more common for men to have several partners simultaneously
Having a mistress ( buitenvrouw ) is accepted and usually is not shrouded in secrecy
Maroon men often have different wives in different villages; those men do, however, have the responsibility to supply each wife with a hut, a boat, and a cleared plot for subsistence agriculture.
