Ignorant Mallus romanticize Matrilineal Nair families and claim it as Women in Nair families were empowered. And some ignorant outsiders pick-up and broadcasts it further.

A thread.
What was Nair family system?
The patriarch lived with his sisters and her kids. Once the kids grow, the nieces’ kids join the family. All the while his own kids grow under the guidance of another man in another house hold(s), where he may visit as long as he is permitted.
Men from other families would seek relationship with the ladies. The patriarch agrees or disagrees. If he agreed, the man comes home with a Pudava that night and the relationship started until the patriarch disagrees or the man loses interest in the lady and leaves.
