Gender of the participants
There was an edit to change the main defining sentence from:
"An avunculocal society is one in which a married couple traditionally lives with the man's mother's eldest brother"
to
"An avunculocal society is one in which a married couple traditionally lives with the female's mother's eldest brother"
This is incorrect as confirmed by the following references:
