Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a matrilocal family system, the husband is expected to live near the wife's parents. This is in contrast to a patrilocal family system where the wife is expected to live near the husband's parents, and a neolocal family system where the couple establishes a new residence separate from both sets of parents. Polygamous and polyandrous families involve multiple spouses, which is not indicated in the question.
