Kin Groups

Kin groups are social organizations based on familial relationships, such as blood relations, marriage, or adoption. They include relatives like parents, children, siblings, grandparents, and extended family members. These groups help define social roles, responsibilities, and connections within a community. Kin groups can shape inheritance, marriage rules, and social support systems, providing a framework for individuals to maintain relationships and uphold cultural traditions. They are fundamental to understanding how societies organize family ties and social obligations across generations.
