In stark contrast, in cultures more intensely agrarian than the Wyandot and their aboriginal predecessors, a woman was likely to leave the support system of her own family to live with an unrelated man—her husband—and his kin. And live in a situation of more or less privacy with him and his kin network. Today, nearly 70 percent of agricultural and post-agricultural societies are patrilocal.
Some writings in the bible promoted the idea of a woman leaving her father and mother to be with her husband. This is in line with the patriarchal views of the writers.
