Fratrievignette|Une fratrie de 3 enfants. La fratrie désigne l'ensemble des frères et sœurs d'une même famille. Les frères et sœurs sont des personnes (de sexe, respectivement, masculin et féminin) ayant différents liens familiaux. Ils sont le plus souvent des enfants issus d'un même couple et par extension des enfants ayant un seul parent en commun (pour préciser cette relation monoparentale, les mots composés « demi-frères » et « demi-sœurs » sont généralement employés).
ComplementarianismComplementarianism is a theological view in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, that men and women have different but complementary roles and responsibilities in marriage, family life, and religious leadership. Complementary and its cognates are currently used to denote this view. Some Christians interpret the Bible as prescribing complementarianism, and therefore adhere to gender-specific roles that preclude women from specific functions of ministry within the community.
HusbandA husband is a male in a marital relationship, who may also be referred to as a spouse. The rights and obligations of a husband regarding his spouse and others, and his status in the community and in law, vary between societies and cultures, and have varied over time. In monogamous cultures, there are only two parties to a marriage, which is enforced by laws against bigamy and polygamy. Traditionally, the husband was regarded as the head of the household and was expected to be the sole provider or breadwinner, a role that continues in some cultures (sometimes described as paternalistic).
Femme au foyervignette|La Femme au foyer hollandaise, par Gerrit Dou. L'expression femme au foyer désigne l'un des statuts attribué à une femme au sein du couple. Il correspond à la femme qui réalise la majeure partie des tâches qualifiées de ménagères, telles que : l'entretien du logis, les achats de consommation courante, la préparation des repas, la surveillance et l'éducation des enfants, à titre d'exemples. La femme au foyer ne se limite dès lors pas à une mère au foyer, la maternité et les tâches qui y sont associées étant une des dimensions la caractérisant.
Marriage lawMarriage law is the legal requirements that determine the validity of a marriage, and which vary considerably among countries. See also Marriage Act. Rights and responsibilities of marriages in the United States A marriage, by definition, bestows rights and obligations on the married parties, and sometimes on relatives as well, being the sole mechanism for the creation of affinal ties (in-laws). Over 2.3 million weddings take place in the U.S. each year.
Ancêtrevignette|Portrait de la famille Crouch en 1912 montrant cinq générations. Un ancêtre est soit le père ou la mère, soit de façon récursive le père ou la mère d'un ancêtre (grand-parent, arrière-grand-parent, etc.), habituellement ascendants issus d'un même clan ou d'une même tribu. Les termes « aïeul », au féminin « aïeule », au pluriel « aïeuls », désignent les grands-parents ; le pluriel « aïeux » désigne les ancêtres. Les bisaïeuls (8 ancêtres) et les trisaïeuls (16 ancêtres) sont respectivement les arrière-grands-parents et les arrière-arrière-grands-parents.
Filiation légitimeLa filiation légitime est la filiation (transmission de la parenté) qui caractérise les enfants conçus ou nés alors que leurs parents étaient unis par le mariage. Dans de nombreux pays, le statut d'enfant légitime est opposé à celui d'enfant naturel. En France, l'usage distinguant entre enfants légitimes et enfants naturels selon la situation matrimoniale de leurs parents date du . Ce concept est repris dans le Code civil de 1804. La filiation légitime est alors indivisible : elle est établie en bloc pour le couple marié ou pour aucun des deux.
Eskimo kinshipEskimo kinship or Inuit kinship is a category of kinship used to define family organization in anthropology. Identified by Lewis Henry Morgan in his 1871 work Systems of Consanguinity and Affinity of the Human Family, the Eskimo system was one of six major kinship systems (Eskimo, Hawaiian, Iroquois, Crow, Omaha, and Sudanese). The system of English-language kinship terms falls into the Eskimo type. The joint family system places no distinction between patrilineal and matrilineal relatives; instead, it focuses on differences in kinship distance (the closer the relative is, the more distinctions are made).
Hawaiian kinshipHawaiian kinship, also referred to as the generational system, is a kinship terminology system used to define family within languages. Identified by Lewis H. Morgan in his 1871 work Systems of Consanguinity and Affinity of the Human Family, the Hawaiian system is one of the six major kinship systems (Eskimo, Hawaiian, Iroquois, Crow, Omaha, and Sudanese). Within common typologies, the Hawaiian system is the simplest classificatory system of kinship. Relatives are distinguished only by generation and by gender.
Crow kinshipCrow kinship is a kinship system used to define family. Identified by Lewis Henry Morgan in his 1871 work Systems of Consanguinity and Affinity of the Human Family, the Crow system is one of the six major kinship systems (Eskimo, Hawaiian, Iroquois, Crow, Omaha, and Sudanese). The system is somewhat similar to the Iroquois system, but distinguishes between the mother's side and the father's side. Relatives on the mother's side of the family have more descriptive terms, and relatives on the father's side have more classificatory terms.
