Abstract

The conventional definitions and, meanings of marriage, family, family relationship, and kinship ties demand a serious relook as things are changing fast and drastically in the late capitalistic era. New structures and new designs of social relationships are coming up.This article deals with the nature of family formation and their margin of relationships based on secondary sources. On the one hand, late modern familiesoffer greater freedom of life to its members and on the other hand they open up great deal of variations and flexibility while operating as a part of the ‘risk society’.
