This makes very little sense historically. Some cultures actually had familial succession following the FEMALE -- including royal succession. Why? Because you KNOW a child born to a woman is a child of that woman, but (without a DNA test) you DON'T KNOW who the father is.[/QUOTE]It does makes sense Timber. Have you ever been in East Asia country? Yes? No? Do you know that a couple child takes after the father surname? For example
Chiu Ci Bei(man) marry Mo Nen Nen(woman)
The chidren will have the Chiu surname.
Tell me is it different where you live? I really wonder...
