What to Focus On

  • Family is a social unit based on marriage, blood, or adoption.
  • It is the primary agent of socialization.
  • Functions include procreation, emotional support, and cultural transmission.
  • Nuclear family is common in urban areas; joint family in rural areas.
  • Patriarchal families are more common in India.
  • Matrilineal families exist among Khasi and Garo tribes.
  • Monogamy is the most common form of marriage globally.
  • Polygyny is more common than polyandry.
  • Endogamy and exogamy regulate marriage alliances in Indian society.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All joint families are patriarchal and all nuclear families are modern and equal.

Polygamy means one man marrying many women, so polygyny and polygamy are the same.

Marriage is only about love and companionship, not about social rules or duties.
