In many modern countries, people think of a family as a mother, a father and their
children. But this is not the only kind of the family group. In some parts of the world, a
family group has many other members. This kind of large family is called an “extended
family” or a “joint family”.
The joint family includes all living relatives on either the mother’s or the father’s side
of the family. It is made up of grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, and
cousins. They live together in a large house or in huts built close together.
Early people probably lived in joint families. They had to be part of a large group to
survive. The members of the group helped each other hunt. They worked together to
protect themselves from dangerous animals and other enemies.
In China, people live in joint families. When a son gets married, he and his wife live at
his parents’ home. Unmarried daughters remain at home until they get married. Chinese
children feel very loyal to their parents. Younger members of the joint families always
take care of the old ones.
In India and Africa, some people still live in joint families. The members of a joint
family share their earnings and property. If one member of the group becomes ill or has a
bad luck, the others help the person. As in the past, the members of the joint family offer
each other help and protection.
