Family, Kinship and Marriage in India by Patricia Uberoi
This study offers the results of recent research on the family in India. The main themes discussed are regional varieties throughout the country, descent groups and kindred, marriage, affinity and alliance, property and gender, family and household, structure and change.India is the second most populous nation in the world, but the dynamics of daily life are not understood by many in the West. This work examines various aspects of Indian families: how they are organized, how property is distributed in marriage, and the structure and change of the household.< br> It develops each aspect with a discussion of regional differences and classic writings in the field. Clearly written, this work is helpful to all those interested in families, social alliances, and comparative studies. |
