India's Khasi Tribe: Boys Bid Farewell After Marriage, Youngest Daughter Inherits Property

• In Meghalaya's Khasi Tribe, boys leave their homes after marriage to live with their wives, challenging traditional patriarchal norms.
• The youngest daughter, known as 'Ka Khadduh', inherits all family property, land, and wealth, making her the sole heir.
• 'Ka Khadduh' bears significant responsibilities, including caring for elderly parents, supporting siblings, and guarding religious rituals.

• Despite some men demanding equal property rights, the matriarchal traditions of the Khasi Tribe remain deeply rooted and celebrated.
