The Family Khuzdar
In Khuzdar the family set-up can be divided into two major types: the joint and nuclear family system. In the urban areas, the trend of nuclear family is becoming very popular among literate people, while in the rural areas people live in joint families. In the joint family system people feel secure and at ease, economically as well as socially.
The family pattern is patriarchal and male members have full authority in family affairs. The decision of the family’s head is considered final in all domestic affairs. The tribal chiefs also have full authority in decision making at community and tribal level.
