Hindu Joint Family

A Hindu Joint Family is a traditional family structure in which extended family members, typically three or more generations, live together under one roof and share finances, responsibilities, and resources. This system emphasizes kinship, cooperation, and collective decision-making. Each member has specific roles, which promote social and economic stability. Property is often jointly owned, and income is pooled to support the family as a whole. While this arrangement fosters strong familial bonds and support, modern influences are leading to a gradual shift towards nuclear families in urban areas.
