Valiyakunju Shankaran Channar was meticulous in arranging marriages within the family to strengthen alliances and consolidate wealth. His wife, Velumbiyamma, hailed from the Kuttikkal family and shared nine children with him—five sons and four daughters.
The marriages of his descendants often involved close relatives, reflecting the societal norms of the time. For example:
- His daughters were married into prominent families, such as the Komalarath and Paattoor lineages.
- His sons, including Komathu Kavikunju Panicker, forged alliances with culturally significant families.
These marital strategies reinforced the family’s social and economic standing, ensuring that the Alummoottil lineage maintained its influence and unity across generations.
