Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

When consanguine relationships are the social and family norm, this provides either men or
women with the strongest emotional, political and economic position in the family structure.
Opposite sex members naturally defer to the more powerful gender. A combination of these
characteristics is evident in matrilineal societies. This, along with special respect for mother
figure in the large extended family, serves to endow women as leaders, and is the case in
matrilineal African cultures. Children, spouses, sibs and others defer to the consanguineal
head of the family, and if the organization is basically matrilineal, males are content to accept
the leadership of the mother figure, even when they are married to her. Marriage into the
consanguineal family does not establish the outsider as an important force through conjugal
relationship, but as an outsider who married into the group, an outsider of the less powerful
sex who do not have the rights accorded those who are legitimate blood descendants in the
consanguineal lineage.
