Answer:
Explanation:
matrilineal advantage: the likelihood that children will have a closer relationship to their maternal grandparents — and especially to their maternal grandmother — than to their paternal grandparents.
The core of their societies is female. ... In humans, this means that women inherit family property, children belong to their mothers' lineages, or newly-married couples live in close proximity to the wife's kin. Even in these “matrilineal” societies, anthropologists have claimed that men are more important than women.1

Advantages are the establishment of close G3-G1 relationships, whereas disadvantages can be seen in inheritance.
Advantages:
- So, if the family head effectively favours girls or maybe maternal grandkids when designating assets, and if grandkids and girls cooperate with the establishment of close G3-G1 relationships, matrilineal gain arises.
Disadvantages:
- It is frequently seen as the legacy that will fall to the female.
- A man with several wives "prevails upon" a guy with just one wife in matrilineal systems.
- Given that spouses have siblings, and those siblings will donate their wealth to the husband's descendants, having more wives means having more in-laws who will support your children financially.
