Chlouvānem society was traditionally matriarchal and matrilocal; in today's Yunyalīlti Communist society, however, gender equality in marriage and emphasis on the nuclear family are prevalent, even though matrilocality is still prevalent in rural areas. In older just as in modern times, however, Chlouvānem people are an exogamous society, with a broad definition of what is considered incest (perhaps the most disgusting thing to the Chlouvānem mind, and the source of their language's worst insults) and even broader restrictions on allowable marriage partners. | Chlouvānem society was traditionally matriarchal and matrilocal; in today's Yunyalīlti Communist society, however, gender equality in marriage and emphasis on the nuclear family are prevalent, even though matrilocality is still prevalent in rural areas.
