पर्याय

• Kerala

• Karnataka

• Meghalaya

• Arunachal Pradesh

Answer 1

Meghalaya

Explanation:

In Meghalaya, the case is reversed because it follows a matrilineal system, where lineage and inheritance are traced through the mother's side. After marriage, men often move to their wife's household, which is the opposite of the patriarchal system commonly found in other parts of India. This tradition is also found in other matrilineal societies in the northeastern region, such as among the Khasi, Garo, and Jaintia tribes.
