When we see that and certainly when we see patrilocality, the opposite of that, where the men stay put, it tends to be associated with the inheritance of status.
Some of these inequalities might be obvious, based on what we’ve talked about already – like patrilineal lines of descent that make it impossible for women to hold wealth or gain power.
