Matrilineality

Matrilineality is a unique social system of "Aliyasantana" observed among various other Bunt communities, and one notable example is the Jain Bunts. This system, practiced by the Jain Bunts even to this day, revolves around a distinctive approach to inheritance, property ownership, and marital arrangements.

In the context of matrilineality among the Jain Bunts, an intriguing pattern emerges where the wife plays a central role in matters of property and inheritance. Unlike many traditional systems where property and inheritance are primarily passed down through the male line, among the Jain Bunts, it is the wife who inherits both land and property. This practice reflects a significant departure from conventional societal norms, highlighting the importance of the female lineage in shaping the community's social and economic fabric.

Furthermore, matrilineality among the Jain Bunts also influences the dynamics of marriage. In this unique system, upon marriage, the husband becomes a part of his wife's household. This contrasts with the more common practice of a wife moving to her husband's family residence. By embracing matrilineality, the Jain Bunts challenge the conventional gender roles and familial structures prevalent in many societies, showcasing an alternative approach to family and community cohesion.[citation needed]
