unilateral descent
Unilateral descent refers to the kinship system or lineage determination through one's either maternal (matrilineal) or paternal (patrilineal) line only. It is a system where an individual's family membership or inheritance rights are traced exclusively through either the mother's or the father's line. This system is different from the bilateral descent system where lineage is traced through both parents.
