The Mouso people are described as a matriarchal society. Women take on an important role in family and property, and family lineage passes through the female side. They practice a "walking marriage" where the woman can choose and change sexual partners, and the partners do not live with each other; however, men may visit a woman's family if invited.
Unfortunately, modernization and tourism have begun to creep into the Mouso way of life, and many think this tarnish the community.
