Family is one of the fundamental institutions of human society, universally found across cultures and societies. In social anthropology, family is typically defined as a social group characterized by common residence, economic cooperation, and reproduction. It often consists of people related by blood, marriage, or adoption. The family serves several key functions: biological reproduction, socialization of children, regulation of sexual behavior, provision of affection and emotional support, and economic cooperation. The classical anthropological definition by Murdock (1949) defines the family as “a social group characterized by common residence, economic cooperation, and reproduction. It includes adults of both sexes, at least two of whom maintain a socially approved sexual relationship, and one or more children, own or adopted, of the sexually cohabiting adults.” This definition emphasizes the nuclear family structure and presumes heterosexual norms and co-residence, which has been increasingly challenged by contemporary anthropologists due to the growing diversity in family forms. The dynamics of family have undergone profound changes over time, especially in the context of modernization, globalization, urbanization, and technological advancements. The transition from traditional to modern societies has significantly altered the composition, structure, and functions of the family. _________ ____ ______ _____ ______ ____ _____ _____ ____ ___ __________ __________.
