Question

Situation in which kinship is tracked through the mothers family.

Answer 1

Matrilineality

Step-by-step explanation:

Matrilineality is the imitation of a family by the female lineage. It may also interact with a societal way in which each body is recognised besides their matriline – their mother's genealogy – and which can include the inheritance of wealth and/or ownership. A matriline is a chain of relationship from a fertile ancestor to a descendant in which the selves in all intermediate reproductions are mothers – in other terms, a "mother group". In a matrilineal descent order, an individual is supposed to relate to the same family group as their mother.

Answer 2

That situation is called Matrilineality.

A matriline is a line of descent from a female ancestor to a descendant in which the individuals in all the generations are mothers – in other words, a "mother line".

Within matrilineality there are some systems to be considered:

• matrilineal primogeniture the eldest female child of the decesased person is entitled to the hereditary succession before her younger sisters, and her brothers are not entitled at all.

• matrilineal ultimogeniture where the youngest daughter is the heir.
• matrilineal seniority the eldest sister is succeeded by her next eldest sister
