Question

Among lesser developed societies the greater the control over female sexuality, the greater the chances that society will organize inheritance ___________

Answer 1

Answer:

The greater the control over female sexuality, the greater the chances that society will organize in terms of patrilineal inheritance.

Explanation:

Patrilineal inheritance is traced through ties to the father and other male kin. Property, titles, and wealth will be distributed through ties to male kin in this type of kinship and inheritance system.  In these systems, women's sexuality tends to be tightly controlled with strict moral codes, rules, and sanctions that assure monogamy so that patrilineal ties are more assured. One example of a patrilineal society is the Chinese family system, where membership in family lines, along with all kinds of property pass from father to son. The Chinese family system was also patrilocal traditionally where the woman would move to where her husband resides upon marriage, usually with his extended family.
