In matriarchal societies men are very happy. This is what the interview headline says: Anna Boyé published by the Catalan newspaper Ara a few days ago. Anna has been studying and analysing this type of society around the world for some time and speaks from experience.
You can read the interview at this link (in Catalan) and learn more about her work and views on matriarchs.

Sumatra. The Minangkabau: a Muslim matriarchal community
In the Muslim community, it is women who transmit the lineage from generation to generation. With more than four million people, they are located west of the island of Sumatra, and their ancestral traditions, known as adat, place mothers at the centre of society.
Among the Minangkabau, women inherit the family home, land and property, passed from mother to daughter. Consensus and agreement between women and men form the community’s social foundation.
Minangkabau women will introduce us to these traditions, sharing their daily lives and traditional matriarchal way of life within a Muslim society.
