This work sets out to compare the situation of women in South and South-East Asia and argues that kinship systems provide an important context in which gender relations are located. It looks at three types of kinship system found in their various forms in the two regions of Asia - patrilineal in South Asia and bilateral in South-East Asia, with a presence of matriliny in both.
