While conventionally, the term 'family' has been described as a group of people related to each other by 'blood, marriage or custom'; from a sociological perspective, it is important to understand that family structures, rather than being universal and constant or unchanging vary across socio-cultural contexts. Thus, as a social institution, the composition of the family, and its structure evolves over time and must be undserstood in its relation to other changes in the society.
