Abstract

India, the country of uniqueness, knowledge and purity. Literature on family studies in India has grown to a large extent in the last two decades, although such studies are scattered. This paper presents some untold truth on families in India aiming to provide bases for analyzing research, particularly in the area of family development. By observing the furious scenario of socio familial stress and violence, one can easily realize the need of this paper. Indian families are classified as patrilineal and matrilineal according to the lineage or descent by father or mother. The family structure is conceptualized as the configuration of role, power, and status and relationships in the family which depends upon the families socio economic background, family pattern, and extent of urbanization. Marriage practices are emphasized covering subjects such as marriage patterns, selection of marriage partner, age at marriage, age at consummation of marriage, marriage rituals, financial exchanges and divorce. In spite of urbanization and industrialization in the contemporary Indian society, the family institution continues to play a central role in the lives of people. There are many social practices, responsible for putting pressure on a person unnecessarily. This stress is a major contributing factor for a series of psychological disturbances, like Depression, Frustration, Suicidal tendency etc these in turn leads to several physical problems, like Diabetes mellitus, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, several Cardio vascular disturbances e.t.c.
