    Kinship refers to social relationships based on blood or marriage. There are two main types of kinship - consanguineal kinship based on blood relationships, and affinal kinship based on marriage relationships. Kinship systems can be traced through unilinear descent down either the paternal or maternal line, or through bilateral descent down both lines. Marriage is an important social institution that creates new kinship ties through affinal relationships. Societies also differ in whether they practice endogamy within a group or exogamy outside the group, and whether marriages are monogamous or allow polygamy.

    KINSHIP

    It is one of the basic social institutions found in every


    society.

    The most basic bonds are those based on marriage and


    reproduction. Kinship refers to these bonds, and all
    other relationships resulting from them. Thus, the
    institution of kinship refers to a set of relationships and
    relatives formed thereof, based on blood relationships
    (consanguineal), or marriage (affinal).
    TYPES OF KINSHIP

    Consanguineal kinship- kinship based on


    blood is considered as the most basic and
    general form of relations. This relationshipis
    achieved bu birth or blood affinity.
    Descent refers to a biological relationship.
    Societies recognize that children descend
    from parents and that there exists a biologicl
    relationship between parents and offspring.

    Lineage refers to the line where one’s descent


    is traced.
    Symbols used by anthropologists to study patterns of
    descent and kin groups
    Unilinear Descent is a system of determining descent
    groups in which one belongs to one's father's or
    mother's line, whereby one's descent is traced either
    exclusively through male ancestors (patriline), or
    exclusively through female ancestors (matriline).

    Bilateral Descent some societies trace their descent


    through the study of both parents ancestors. In a
    baliteral descent, kinship is traced through both
    ancestral lines of the mother and father.
    TYPES OF KINSHIP

    Affinal Kinship refers to type of relations


    developed when marriage occurs. When
    marriage takes place new forms of social
    relations are developed.

    group, rejecting others on such a basis as being unsuitable for marriage or for other
