The six post-marital residential patterns that the author describes are: Patrilocality: after marriage, the bride goes to live with the husband, in the husband’s house or near his family (a most common form of residence). Matrilocality: after marriage, the groom goes to live with the wife, in the wife’s house or hear her family (very few societies). Bilocalty: a very rare form of residence, the married couples live “with or near either set of parents”. Neolocality: married couples live independently, a somewhat rising pattern among married couples. Avunculocality: a sometimes happening post-marital residence where the newlywed couples go to live with the brother of the groom’s mother. Duolocality: probably the weirdest form, where the couples live apart from each other after marriage; they choose to not live together.
