The correct answer is A) Travancore and Cochin.<\/p>\n
The matrilineal system of inheritance is a system in which property and titles are passed down through the female line. This system was prevalent in the southern Indian states of Travancore and Cochin until the early 20th century. Under this system, property was owned by the matrilineal family, which consisted of a woman, her daughters, and her daughters’ children. The eldest daughter was the head of the family and inherited all of the property. The sons had no claim to the property, but they were allowed to live in the family home and receive a share of the income from the property.<\/p>\n
The matrilineal system of inheritance was based on the belief that women were the primary transmitters of culture and tradition. It was also seen as a way to protect women’s rights and to ensure that they would be provided for after the death of their husbands.<\/p>\n
The matrilineal system of inheritance began to decline in the early 20th century, as more and more people began to adopt the patrilineal system, in which property and titles are passed down through the male line. This change was due to a number of factors, including the influence of British colonialism, the spread of Christianity, and the increasing economic importance of men.<\/p>\n
Today, the matrilineal system of inheritance is still practiced in some parts of Kerala, but it is no longer as widespread as it once was.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
