Study Notes
Family Descent
- Ambilineal descent allows individuals to choose their lineage, either through their father's or mother's family.
- Neolocal residency: Couples live independently from their families.
- Patrilocality: Couples move to the husband's family's community, often near his father.
- Matrilocality: Couples reside with or near the wife's family. Often practiced in horticultural societies.
- Bilocal (Ambilocal): The couple chooses which family to live near or with.
- Avunculocal: Couples live with or near the groom's mother's brother.
Marriage
- It’s an arrangement for procreation, caring for offspring, determining legitimate descent, and raising children.
- Westermark's definition of marriage: "...a relation of one or more men to one or more women which is recognized by customs or law and involves certain rights and duties both in the case of children born of it.”
- Marriage is central to kinship systems, creating alliances and "fictive kinship" between members of clans and tribes.
Philippine Family Code

- Article 15: Those between 21 and 25 years old are required to seek parental or guardian advice.
Family Relationships
