"The Kachins practice what has been termed "matrilateral cross-cousin marriage"-- this means that a man may marry women only from his mother's patrilineage (his mayu, or "wife-giving", lineage), and a woman may only marry a man from her father's sister's husband's patrilineage (dama, or "wife getting" lineage). A lineage may not be both dama and mayu vis-a-vis another lineage. This is certain only for the Jinghpaw and Gauri groups; it is not known whether or not the Maru and Lashi groups practice preferential marriage (Leach 1954:203)" (174). The author refers to this as the "cousin circle path" (KMM-CODER COMMENT).

In practice, government officials rely predominately on the household head system to allocate land titles. This system is based on traditional norms which assume that the oldest male is the household head, unless there is no adult male in the home" (9).

However, the majority of male respondents stated that they made the decision to register their land alone, or consulted their family before making the final decision themselves on this topic. Although the male and female interviewees were not from the same households, this difference in the responses highlights the complexity of collective decision making; perceptions of roles and influence can significantly differ and be very subjective.
