The Family Jhall Magsi
The district has a tradition of joint families. In many cases even married sons reside with their parents. However, there is a growing tendency to live in nucleus families, for various reasons like education, better financial position and differences among the members of the family. Family ties, both in joint and nucleus families, among close relatives are very strong, because of tribal life for which such strong bonds are needed for protection. The institution of the family is very strong in the district and it has no potential threat. Elders of the family are respected and obeyed. When the head of a family dies, his near relatives take full care of the family.
