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 in

order to survive. The members of the group helped each other hunt. They worked

together to protect themselves from dangerous animals and other enemies.

In developed countries, 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

bad luck, the others help the person. As in the past, the members of the joint family offer

each other help and protection.
