Briefly explain the term joint family.
उत्तर
A joint family consists of multiple primary families living together and having close relationships. Each member has a common ancestor and is required to obligate the others. Members of the group include the individual, his spouse, married sons, their offspring, an unmarried daughter, his brother, and his parents.
The process of transitioning from a joint family setup to living independently as a nuclear family can be described as the dissolution of joint families. In a joint family scenario, it typically involves extended family members, such as three brothers along with their wives and children, all living together in a single household. However, when these family units choose to separate, and each couple, along with their children, opts to live separately, they transition from being part of a joint family to forming individual nuclear families. This change highlights how a larger, collective family structure can divide into separate, smaller family units.

I was born and raised in a large family in Ahmedabad where many members lived under the same roof. However, few months after I got married, my husband and I moved to Chennai. In the beginning, I enjoyed the privacy with my husband. But on certain occasions I also felt the absence of other family members around us along with their interactions and regular ‘interference’. As time passed by, I started feeling lonely and missed the crowd of relatives around me. I particularly remembered the fun-filled moments that I spent with my large family during festivals. My husband and I made good friends with few neighbours, but the loneliness remained. After the birth of both my children, I needed my mother and mother-in-law around to assist me for a while, but I had to manage on my own. Things became really difficult when I took up a job. I had to leave both my children in a day care centre. It was then that I most cherished the memories of my childhood spent with my family. |
