'''Parentela''' is a term used in [[Brazil]] meaning 'extended [[family]]', including all relatives (''parentes'') by [[blood]], [[marriage]] and ritual, generally living in a number of households. Colloquially the term is understood as a plethora of obedient kin, and elite ''parentelas'' have crucial national significance. The practice of endogamous marriage has conserved patrimony (especially on''fadenzas'') within the family group by preventing the dividing-up of [[property]] among legitimate [[heir]]s entitled by [[inheritance]] laws.
Brazilian feminists have claimed that ''patria potesas'' - the authority of the head of the household - has denied wives the right to alienate landed property without their husband's consent. Although not limited to the wealthy elite, ''parentelas'' explain the preponderance of ''[[coronelismo]]'' throughout Brazil, especially in the north-east.
