MERE MEN DON'T COUNT HERE.
Women own the Property and Rule
MRlabar.

LONDON. July IA land in which
women rule was described by Sir Chettur
Sankaran Nair, Judge OF the high court
OF Madras, In a lecture on The Matri-
archal System OF the Nairs In Malabar"
the southern end OF Inda-recently.
Among these natives" said the
speaker. men have nothing TO do with
the management OF the family. BY the
matriarchal system descent Is reckoned
through the mothers female line. the son
nowhere continuing the descent. Thus the
relation OF marriage does not enter into
the construction OF the family. The old
theory was that the females owned the
property and when the property was
divided among the family the females got
theig share, while the males received
nothing"
Sir Chettur referred to a practice I'M
der which bridegroom Is given permits
sion TO visit his bride for six months,
though the union Is intended to be per-
manent There is no religious ceremony,
but astroogers consult the Horoscopes Of
the parties. Such unions. though not
sanctioned by law or religion. are gem
orally permanent. The husband does
everything in his wife's name and the
property IL under her control.
The speaker described three types Of
matrlmony in Malabar:
% No marriage. Man lives in
woman's home and Is maintained there,
being allowed occasionally to visit his
own home.
CD Woman has maternal family home
with her mother. entering also family of
husbands" maternal relatives.
