Marriage is the base of family. Marriage may be monogamous or polygamous or polyandrous and in any form. It is the social institution which helps to establish mating relationship and thereby family is formed.

Each family is identified by a distinct nomenclature of its own. The members of the family are known by the nomenclature or by a distinctive name.

In matrilineal society it is traced from mother and in patrilineal society it is from father. In some societies it may be traced from both father and mother.
