Kin groups are the complex products of the combined operation of Double Descent Organization and Dual organization.In consonance with the double descent organization there are patrilineal groups and matrilineal groups.
Each of these discrete unilineal descent groups are only two in number according to the moiety organization.The patri-moieties and the matri-moieties get super-imposed on one another to produce Bilinear kin groups.
The combined influence of patrilineal descent and matrilineal descent in a bilinear system operates in such a way that it includes only those patri-kin who are also matri-kin and excludes those patri-kin who are not matri-kin and vice-versa.
