Description

Family is a group of people related either by consanguinity or affinity. It forms the basis for social order. The purpose of the family is to maintain the well-being of its members and of society. Ideally, families offer predictability, structure, and safety as members mature and learn to participate in the community. Historically, most human societies use family as the primary purpose of attachment, nurturance, and socialization.

कुटुंब म्हणजे एकमेकांशी नाते असलेल्या माणसांचा समूह. माणसा-माणसांमधील नाती ही जन्मानंतर, विवाहानंतर किंवा दत्तक घेतल्यानंतर निर्माण होतात. कुटुंबसंस्था एकत्र अथवा विभक्त अशी दोन्ही प्रकारची असू शकते. विभक्त कुटुंबसंस्थेत आई-वडील, पती-पत्नी, मुलगा-मुलगी असे प्राथमिक घटक असतात.
