6-2Bettty&Lucy Living with mother

In the south China, the Mosuo people have a species life. In Mosuo society, the adult children, men and women live in their mother’s home even after they have found a partner. Their children need to live with their mother can’t stay with their parent. There is no notion of formal marriage and no marriage ceremony. Instead, the Mosuo clams this process that is called “walking marriage.”
The man need to close to their nieces than to their child, because their must always consider their upbringing and their education. So, in Mosuo society the uncle is more powerful than the father and inside the home, the mother is more powerful the uncle. And children take their mother’s family name. Finally, in the Mosuo “divorce” is very simple.
