About the Book
Marriage and Family in India by K. M. Kapadia is a seminal sociological study that examines the structure, traditions, and transformation of family life in Indian society. Widely regarded as an authoritative work in Indian sociology, the book offers a comprehensive analysis of marriage customs and family systems across different regions and communities.
Kapadia explores traditional practices such as polygyny, polyandry, child marriage, early widowhood, and the functioning of the joint family system. By combining historical context with sociological analysis, the author explains how these institutions evolved and how they continue to influence social organization in India.
The book also discusses modern developments, including changing family structures, the status of women, and the impact of urbanization and social reform on marriage and family patterns. Ideal for students, researchers, and readers interested in sociology, anthropology, and Indian social studies, this classic work provides deep insight into the cultural values and social dynamics shaping family life in India.
