- Alternative arrangements of family living
- The Nayar Tribe (Southwest India)
- A woman can have multiple sexual partners
- Biological father is uncertain
- Mother's brother is responsible for looking after mother and children
- No direct link between biological parents living together or being responsible for child bearing
- Communes (Western Europe and USA)
- Developed in 1960s
- Collective living rather than individual family units
- Responsibility of the group to raise children rather than natural parents
- The Kibbutz (example of commune)
- Parents separated from their children and they were brought up by someone else with limited access
- They were seen as children of the Kibbutz and were the responsibility of the whole community
- Banaro Tribe (New Guinea)
- Husband of the Banaro tribe will not have sex with his wife until she has a child with a friend of her father-in-law's
- This is to test if the wife can have children, although if she can't the husband can get rid of her
- Husband of the Banaro tribe will not have sex with his wife until she has a child with a friend of her father-in-law's
- Single Parenthood
- Rapoports argues that:
- 1)Single parent families are an important 'emerging form' of the family
- 2) Single parent families are now becoming a legitimate alternative to other family structures
- Rapoports argues that:
- Gay and Lesbian Households
- Have become more popular since the 1980s
- The Civil Partnership Act of 2004 gave legal recognition so couples had the same legal treatment as a marriage
- Same sex marriage was introduced in 2014
- Foster care and children's homes
- This demonstrates that the link between natural parents and raising of children can be and sometimes is seperated
- The Nayar Tribe (Southwest India)
