According to the researchers, this"

This so-called
patrilocal pattern combined with individual female mobility was not a temporary phenomenon, but persisted over a period of 800 years during the transition from the Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age.
For example, "classic patriarchy" is one form of patriarchy which is based on agricultural mode of production,
patrilocal residence, patrilineal corporate extended household, the material and symbolic authority of the senior man, the wealth flow from children to the parents, and high fertility (Kandiyoti, 1988).
As
patrilocal practice remains popular in this community, many young women, including my participants, are expected to move in with their husbands and in-laws after getting married.
