Minangkabau, who lives in Sumatra, Indonesia, is the largest community in the world, where women rule is ruled. The men of this Muslim community stay in the in-laws after marriage. The property of women in the property is entitled to property. That is, property mothers would be transferred to daughters and children also get mother's name. Women make important decisions in family decisions. Photographer Susan Schullman imprisoned the life of the world's greatest maternal society in her camera.


Minangkabau is a big ethnic group of Muslims in Indonesia. Here the ladies of the house are in the role of the head.

Minangkabau is a big ethnic group of Muslims in Indonesia. Here the ladies of the house are in the role of the head. The family's land and properties are also named after them.
Even when there are marriages in this community, the boy goes to live in his wife's house and he has to live with his in-laws.

Women play a role in home decisions too. The dealer of the family disputes also does the same. Men make money.

According to Tawfik Abdullah, retired professor living in Jakarta, if women are pregnant in the Meenangkabau community, then people are just aspiring that the child is a girl.


How these traditions originate are the
fact that after the death of King Maharaja Dirajo in the middle of the twelfth century, there were three queens and their three sons behind them. When the three sons were very young, then the big queen took charge of the rule. In this way, the 'women's rule' started here. At present, the population of the community is around 9 million.
