🔆FAMILY AND KINSHIP

FAMILY :

✅The structure of the family can be studied both as a social institution in itself and also in its relationship to other social institutions of society.
✅ In itself a family can be defined as nuclear or extended. It can be male-headed or female- headed. The line of descent can be matrilineal or patrilineal.
✅ This internal structure of the family is usually related to other structures of society, namely
political, economic, cultural etc.
✅ The kind of changes that take place that not only have family structures changed, but cultural ideas, norms and values also change. These changes are however not so easy to bring about.

NUCLEAR AND EXTENDED FAMILY

✅ A nuclear family consists of only one set of parents and their children.
✅ An extended family (commonly known as the ‘joint family’) can take different forms, but has more than one couple, and often more than two generations, living together.
✅The extended family often is seen as symptomatic of India. Yet this is by no means the dominant form now or earlier. It was confined to certain sections and certain regions of the community.

THE DIVERSE FORMS OF THE FAMILY :

With regard to the rule of residence, some societies are matrilocal in their marriage
and family customs while others are patrilocal.

🔸Matrilocal family :

✅ The newly married couple stays with the woman’s parents,
✅ With regard to the rules of inheritance, property passes from mother to daughter
✅ Matriarchy where the women play a similarly dominant role.
✅However, matriarchy – unlike patriarchy – has been a theoretical rather than an empirical concept. There is no historical or anthropological evidence of matriarchy – i.e., societies where women exercise dominance.
✅However, there do exist matrilineal societies, i.e., societies where women inherit property from their mothers but do not exercise control over it, nor are they the decision makers in public affairs. Ex khasi matrilineal

🔸Patrilocal family :

✅ The couple lives with the man’s parents.
✅ With regard to the rules of inheritance, property passes from father to son
✅A patriarchal family structure exists where the men exercise authority and dominance.
