JOINT FAMILY SYSTEM IN PAKISTAN

Posted on at


Social life is a part of human nature. Due to various reasons society is divided in rural and urban areas. Similarly. Pakistani society is also divided in rural and urban society. Before to creation of Pakistan the joint family system was much liked but today the world social change also affected Pakistani culture. That is why?  With joint family system the tendency of nuclear family system is advancing, but Pakistani nation is an Islamic society which gives emphasis upon children's rights in particular. Our Holy Prophet peace be upon Him when ordered to parents to edify and provide better education and moral society to their children, also asked the children to display excellent behavior towards their parents.

 

According to my opinion most people prefer joint family system on different statements sometime on the basis of financial support because in joint family system financial burden is shared by all the members of the family.

 

Before the creation of Pakistan Joint family system was found in a large number and was the most prefer system in Pakistan but now in Today world of globalization and urbanization joint family system is losing its power and family system in Pakistan has been converted in nuclear family system. Both the system joint and nuclear has its own advantages and disadvantages but today I will only discuss JOINT FAMILY SYSTEM. Both the systems advantages and disadvantages are based of personal experience of individual and different from one.

In joint family system financial burden is share by all family member, and divided their responsibility and people feel relax, every body share their happiness and sorrow with each others. 

All people have the right to express the feeling and share the opinion and lead the lives on the basis of their own choice if other individual will disagree with the head of the family than it will be consider as disrespect. So at the end of the day no mutual respect Can love left among individual.

Joint faimly helps children to understand and value different relationships respecting each and keeping the feeling of togetherness alive and such an environment makes them learn adaptability and adjustment. The presence of cousin brothers and sisters and other family member improve their capacities to share with one another.

In joint family every body give his opinion and decision comes to deciding the children future. a joint family contributes greatly towards raising children if only the members share a good understanding of adjustment and enough space is given to the parents to decide for their children.
