IX. type of kinship terminologies
i'm doing a research as a school requirement. im a senior in the university of the philippines, manila.
in choosing date or mate, is it really strict that moms choose girsl for their sons? how about the daughters?who chooses their partners?
and can you also please tell me the different terms they use? like for mom, for dad, for aunt, for uncle, for female cousin, for male cousin?
super loads of thanks!
one - mother selects potential brides for son
two - husband can have up to 4 wives
three - extended - several married couples can live with parents
four - both depends on the issue
five - patriarchal
six - blood
seven - father's
eight - loads of words for cousin depends as they denote which side of family
This is very general as it really depends on how traditional the family is.
Some clans are very traditional whereas other clan families are a lot more progressive
no hard n fast rule when it comes to matters of the heart
