Kinship Relations in Adat Communities

The communities seem to have originated either from territorial factors or kinship relations, while most times a resultant of both exists. The more important kinship relations can be divided according to patrilineal , matrilineal and bilateral descent.

While a patrilineal organisation looks to the descent from a one common male via the male line, the matrilineal is based on descent along a female line from a single female ancestor. Both are called unilateral organisations, while in the bilateral, a descent along the male line bears the same weight as along the female line. With respect to the territorial factors we find first the unit as an independent autonomous group, second a few groups together with a joint understanding as to common defense or to common enterprises but with no separate governing rules as to the uninhabited land between communities, and third some autonomous units have joined; and in this case the rules and regulations as to the land not belonging to each community, etc. are centrally issued.

While other forms are known, one of these (in the Bataklands of Sumatera) has an interesting relationship consisting of clans which supply women (called hula-hula) while other clans receive them (boru or beru). The relation is not mutual so another clan must close the ring of women-receiving and women-supplying clans. Because of this community concept, the rights of aliens are few; they either never become a member of the local clan or are accepted after a prolonged stay.
