Addressing the gathering, Meghalaya Governor praised the Khasi matrilineal society as women get more respect as compared to men to the society.

He also mentioned the unique practices where the ancestral property right goes to the youngest daughter of the family.

“In our society, a woman moves to his husband’s place after marriage. But I was amazed to learn that a man moves to his wife’s place after marriage and this cannot be imagined,” he said.
