Thus, every family is always related cognatically to at least one of the other families o
the community, usually to several, and quite often to many of them [18]. A Iban long-
house community aberta e no fechada e s um grupo corporativo em sentido
restrito.
Bilek: centro mundano da famlia (lugar de cozinhar, durmir, etc.); lugar onde se guarda
objetos de valor. 1) Um espao no Aparment e 2) o family group.
Bilek family: basic unity of Iban social and economic organization Further, the bilek
family is always a domestic family; that is, its members constitute a single household,
and the household subsists as an autonomous unit [20]. Possui certas coisas (terras de
arroz, reliquias, etc.). Em suma: uma unidade tanto ritualmente, quanto
economicamente.
In other words, although birth, adoption, marriage and death do result in regular
changes in its personnel, a bilek does persist through time as a clearly defined entity: an
estate in land and property which, at anu moment, is always held in common ownership
by a group of co-existing family members [24].
Utrolateral filiation: In other word, among the Iban marriage is utrolocal, that is, there
is a system of marriage in which either virilocal or uxorilocal residence may be
folllowed and in which rules of kinship and inheritance result in neither form of
domicile being given any special kind of preference [26].
