Maternal Family Structures and Fatherless Households

In maternal-centered societies, the family unit remains intact through the mother's lineage even if a marriage dissolves, providing a broader support network for children. This is contrasted with modern Western society, where the removal of a male breadwinner often leads to devastating economic consequences for single mothers. The current structure is criticized for making women dependent on a single individual rather than a communal or extended family safety net.
