Original sentence: A matriarchy is a tradition (and by extension a form of government) in which community power lies with the women or mothers of a community.Matriarchy is also distinct from matrifocality, which some anthropologists use to describe societies where maternal authority is prominent in domestic relations (usually including matrilineality).Matriarchy is distinct from matrilineality, where children are identified in terms of their mother rather than their father, and extended families and tribal alliances form along female blood-lines
Edited sentence: A matriarchy is a tradition (and by extension a form of government) in which community power lies with the eldest mother of a community.However the term matrifocality is increasingly used in anthropology, where instead of the term Matriarchy, the term Matrifocality is used as an all encompassing term to refer to Mother dominated kinship systems including seemingly matrilinial systems like the Nair tarwad.It refers to the ancient tradition of mother-dominated societies and clans, though it is often confused as meaning woman-dominated.Traditionally Matriarchy has been considered distinct from matrilineality, where children are identified in terms of their mother rather than their father, and extended families and tribal alliances form along female blood-lines
