Document Summary

Western concepts of gender: males are masculine and females are feminine . Anthropologists look for 3 main characteristics to identify marriage in different cultures. Division of labour: marriage regulates the tasks men and women are expected to perform in society. Although the tasks are divided by gender the resources are shared. Children: socially sanctioned marriages provide children with necessary support during development. Legitimate children are also considered an heir to inherit family property. Marriage can be viewed as a partnership between two families (this may be less applicable in western cultures as marriage is often viewed as a venture of love) Family roles will differ based on whether members are related by blood or marriage. A married couple create a economic and social bond between their families or orientation. Family of procreation: when a pair has its own children. Marriage between two people ( most commonly one man, one woman)
