Whether jointness is considered in terms of residence, mutual obligations and property; whether joint family system is being replaced by nuclear family system; whether joint family as an institution is dying put is a matter of dispute and the future of Indian family system has been debated.Various empirical studies point to the new trends of the Indian family system. It is a fact that the joint family system is disintegrating. This disintegration is more evident in cities and industrial centers than in rural areas.
