Patriarchy, as a dominant social system in India, deeply influences kinship and family structures by establishing male authority and control over key aspects of social life such as inheritance, lineage, marriage, and household decision-making. Rooted in centuries of tradition, religion, and cultural practices, patriarchy reinforces hierarchical relationships where men, particularly elder males, are accorded greater power and privilege, while women are assigned subordinate roles. This unequal distribution of power manifests itself in how families are structured, how kinship is defined and maintained, and how gender roles are performed within the household and community. In Indian society, kinship is patrilineal in most regions, meaning descent and inheritance are traced through the male line. The patrilineal system prioritizes sons for the continuation of family lineage, performance of last rites, and inheritance of property. This results in a preference for male children, contributing to skewed sex ratios and female foeticide in some areas. Daughters, in contrast, are considered 'paraya dhan' (someone else's wealth), and their natal family is seen as a temporary affiliation.
