In Ghana, particularly during the Ashanti Empire, the line of succession to the throne traditionally followed a matrilineal system, where the king's lineage was traced through his mother's line rather than his father's. This contrasts with many other states, particularly in Europe, where patriarchal succession is more common, passing the throne from father to son. The matrilineal approach in Ghana allowed for a broader selection of potential heirs and emphasized the role of women in royal lineage, which is less typical in many other cultures.
