a household and connected to each other by blood or adoption or marriage. Family as social
constitution serves to create and maintain the family life in correct ways which are considered
good by a society. It is not an objective institution as it serves to give shape to feeling and
emotions of family memberns in fundamental ways.

members. These small families are supported by increasingly reducing sized homes and are
easier to relocate. Further, small sized nuclear families can support the expensive education,
medication and other services to their children in a much better way as compared to the large
sized joint families.

their characteristic features are as follows:
1: Nuclear family: The family with two generations i.e. parents and their children
2: Extended family: The family with three generations i.e. grandparents, parents and their
children constitutes an extended family.
3: Single parent family: The family in which one parent and children are residing in same
household is called as single parent family.
4: Reconstituted family: The family in which either or both of the parents have children from
their previous marriage living together are called as reconstituted family.

through marriage institution. Marriage is foundation of family irrespetive of mating relationship

has his own name. Hence, marriage, common household, nomenclature of family members,
mode of interaction and communication and an economic provision are some of the
characteristics of a family.
