Meaning of Kinship
Kinship provides the framework of social relationship. Kinship means relationship of the individual with the other members due to either a bond of marriage or through blood.
Kinship bonds are the strong bonds
According to Murdock “It is a structured system of relationship in which individuals are bound to one another by complex interlocking and ramifying ties”.
Radcliffe-Brown says that kinship system is a part of social structure and insists upon the study of kinship as a field of rights and obligation.
