Abstract

India has a rich culture of Kutumb system, recognized as joint families. This helps the family members to sustain a life with kinship grouping living together under one roof. This type of tradition provides a healthy and sound family environment to nourish the children mentally, physically and economically in a strong manner and also get to know about values and traditions of the society from their grandparents and elders of the family (Mangal, 2010). But scenario is changing day by day due to need of the day. India is in process of becoming developed country in place of developing (lumen, 2020). Urbanization and inclusion of westernization for coping with other countries had its influence on the basic structure of the Indian family structure. The breaking down of the joint family into smaller unites, has become essential due to so many circumstances and conditions (Shaikh, 6 july 2017). Now a day’s one of the most family structure also rapidly growing up in Indian society i.e. single parent families. If we go into the deep these kinds of families also has so many genuine reasons to increase the number. Single parenthood is a phenomenon that has always been in existence and is as old as mankind.
