Article Title: Girl Child Health And Education In A Patrilineal Society
by Ms. Sohima Anzak

Abstract:
The article “Girl child education and health in patrilineal society” is purely a qualitative study. I used qualitative research techniques which include transact walk, social mapping, meeting with small social groups, in-depth interviews and focus group discussion, all these tools provide sufficient data for the research. In this research paper it has been my intentions to explore the upbringing of a child in a patrilineal system existing in a Punjabi village, UberdaTatral in Pakistan. Since in a patrilineal society, the lineage is supposed to be continued by the males, therefore the male sex holds a vital position. On the other hand the females who are considered subordinate to men are treated as “lesser human beings”. For obvious reasons, the male enjoys maximum rights and privileges in a male dominated society as compared to the females. Although, the argument of this article revolves around an upbringing of the child, I have tried to focus more on the process of upbringing of a girl child in particular.
