Aliyasantana

Aliyasantana, literally "nephew or niece as heir" in Tulu, is the matrilineal system of inheritance practiced by Tuluva community in the Tulunaad region of Karnataka, India. It is similar to the Marumakkathayam system of Kerala. Nephew here means son of only one's sister (brother's son is not considered as the heir).
