Zusammenfassung:"The native community of India's Lakshadweep islands, though predominantly Muslim, is organized around the matrilineal joint family, similar to the system prevalent in Kerala on the mainland
Under the customary matrilineal law of succession evolved in the islands and followed for centuries, joint family property devolves from mothers to daughters. After marriage women continue to live with their maternal joint family, as do their children
Husbands are normally resident in their own maternal homes and visit their wives regularly."
