The putrikāputra is no longer recognised anywhere in India except among the Nambudri brāhmaṇas of Malabar. Vide *Thakoor Jeebnath v. Court of Wards* 2 I. A. 163, 167, *Babui Rita v. Babu Puran* 1 Pat. L. J. 581, *Kumaran v. Narayanan* 9 Mad. 260, *Chemnauth v. Palakuzhu* 25 Mad. 662, 31 Mad. 310. It appears that even a Madras authority like the Smṛticandrikā¹²⁴⁸ was not aware of the prevalence of the putrikāputra in Malabar.
