Popis: The traditional Kurdish family seems like a nuclear family, including the members of father, mother, and children, but the Kurdish nuclear family is not generally independent because it constitutes a part of the patrilineal extended family and participates in the larger kinship system. The position of head of the family is transferred from father to son, and when a woman gets married, she settles into her husband’s house. In the Kurdish family system, the smallest unit of social organisation may change conceptually, due to the heterogeneous characteristics of a tribal system which varies from tribe to tribe.
