Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe a recent comparison of women's political participation based on empirical
evidence on the matrilineal and patrilineal orders in West and North Sumatra, respectively. This study was
motivated by the low involvement of women in politics in the 2014 and 2019 general elections. The study offers
specific insights into kinship order as political allegiance. This is qualitative research carried out using a pragmatic
methodological approach with academic discussions directed at the relationship between kinship and political
participation. The results showed that the canonization of Islamic patriarchy in the matrilineal order impacts
involution and exclusive women in the domestic arena. Meanwhile, the canonization of Christian patriarchy in the
patrilineal order impacts devolution and inclusive women in politics. Therefore, based on this empirical evidence,
it is concluded that the kinship system is not a relevant political allegiance.
