Kinship, Marriage and The Household

Kinship refers to human relationships by blood or marriage. Kinship creates networks of social relationships that are basic in most societies. There are two main types of kinship - kinship by blood based on descent or genetic relatedness, and kinship by marriage through legal unions or affinity. Marriage systems can be monogamous, polygamous, or allow serial monogamy. Post-marital residency rules determine where married couples live in relation to their families. Kinship also extends to ritual relationships and political affiliations can form dynasties of leadership within families.
