    Kinship refers to the bonds between individuals based on blood relationships or marriage. There are three main types of kinship: kinship by blood based on descent from parents or ancestors; kinship by marriage which creates new social relationships through marriage; and kinship by rituals. A society's rules around kinship determine things like descent groups, lineage tracing, and types of families. Recent changes to the family institution have impacted traditional kinship structures.

    Kinship is one of the main organizing principles of society. It is one of the basic social institutions found in
    every society. This institution establishes relationships between individuals and groups. People in all societies
    are bound together by various kinds of bonds. 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

    Kinship by blood

    Consanguineal kinship or kinship based on blood is considered as the most basic and general form of
    relations. This relationship is achieved by birth or blood affinity.

    Descent refers to a biological relationship. Societies recognize that children descend from parents and that
    there exists a biological 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

    Unilineal 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 bilateral descent, kinship is traced through both ancestral lines of the mother and father.

    Kinship by Marriage

    Affinal Kinship refers to type of relations developed when marriage occurs. When marriage takes place new
    forms of social relations are developed.
    Marriage is an important social institution wherein two persons, enter into family life. During this
    process, the partners make a public, official and permanent declaration of their union as lifetime couples.
    Marriage is defined as the “socially or ritually recognized union or legal contract between spouses that
    establishes rights and obligations between them, between them and their children, and between them and their
    in-laws”. It is believed that all societies have a form of marriage that makes it a cultural universal.
