Mawlynnong isn't like the rest of India, or the rest of the world for that matter. Tucked into the jungle of the northeast Indian state of Meghalaya, on the border of Bangladesh, the village is home to the indigenous Khasi people. Theirs is a matrilineal society, where women inherit land, children take their mothers' names, and men marry into their wives' family homes. The setting is also unique: lush, and so well-cared for, tourists across India visit to marvel at the lack of trash.

It's a photo spread. There is hardly any information so I looked at Wikipedia and there was even less. They don't even mention that it is matrilineal.
