A rare glimpse into Meghalaya's Matrilineal Society
This special report is based on the Garo Khasi and Jaintia tribes of Meghalaya. These tribes practice a matrilineal system of inheritance. In these tribal communities women and men have given equal status for years. In their matriarchal society, after marriage, the groom goes to his bride's house. The girl has the right to property as well.
