WHAT IS KINSHIP?
Kinship is a social institution that refers to
RELATIONS FORMED BETWEEN MEMBERS OF
SOCIETY. It explains the nature and reason for
the formation of the different types of bonds that
exist within society. Sociologists define kinship
as the different forms of socially accepted
relations among people developed through
BLOOD or CONSANGUINEAL RELATIONSHIPS,
MARRIAGE or AFFINAL RELATIONSHIPS,
ADOPTIONS, and other culturally accepted
RITUALS or COMPADRAZGO.
Types of Kinship
Societies develop kin relationships
in different ways. It can be based on
BIRTH or BLOOD RELATIONS,
MARRIAGE, or through the acceptance
of RITUALS.
KINSHIP BY BLOOD
CONSANGUINEAL KINSHIP or kinship based
on blood is considered as the most basic and
general form of relations. The relationship is
achieved by birth or blood affinity. The
relationship existing between parents and their
children, between siblings, and between
nieces/nephews and aunts/uncles are examples
of this type of kinship.
