QuestionPopulation / migration
Which one of the following states has a different female marriage migration practice in India?
- (a) West Bengal
- (b) Nagaland
- (c) Goa
- (d) Meghalaya
Answer: (d) Meghalaya
In most of India, women migrate on marriage to the husband's home (patrilocal). In Meghalaya (Khasi and Garo, matrilineal), the husband often moves to the wife's home, so female marriage migration is different.
