The joint family holds the value system and in todays fast moving world I think value system really does not work except for the villages which are apporiximately 6 lac in number in our country still joint family and other value systems hold good. The recent honour killings are one of the many reasons of those value system. I think a nuclear family system is better which is very sucessful in whole of west and far east.

Jyoti Very difficult question! Because "Satisfaction" word become same like as "Impossible" word, if we are talking about modern India or world. Nobody satisfy with his job, nobody fully satisfied with his family, life style, country or culture. Because satisfaction is an internal feeling... But your argument is fit for modern developing India. But i am constant for both sides as i don't think that all couples are satisfied which are living in a nuclear family........

According to me Dr. Ali's view is absulutely correct. In the modern days there is a change in value system and everybody body try to be on their own and there are a lot of limitations in joint families.

Although, in Nuclear family, individuals get privacy I can say, rather than, using a term freedom, Joint family with parents nurture so many values to the younger ones that they learned it through experience which is quiet expensive and dearer to all. Nevertheless, parents support you morally, their experience guide you in so many aspect that in Nuclear family missing. As we all know," Life is a drama in which everyone takes a role designated". That way, we need to compromise for things & adjust to various requirements/demands. It is what a life teach you & your family.

Thanks for the referral Jyoti Joint family has a lot of limitations for everyone. There are restrictions from parents and elders. The young generation today is not ready to for these restrictions, the youth, both male and female are independent today as both are earning members of the family and as a person capable to take independent decisions. The concept of living with parents is slowly dying out in India.

Modern educated spouses mostly and frequently suffers from EGO CLASH and there is no body to negotiate in Nuclear Family. In a joint Indian Family tradition, parents take the innitiative.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR CONFRONTATION AND VERBAL EXCHANGE ARE MORE IN NUCLEAR FAMILIES AND THERE IS NO ELDERLY MEMBER TO CONSOLE OR COMPROMISE THE COUPLE IRRESPECTIVE OF, ON WHOSE SIDE THE FAULT IS.

In a nuclear single family, the husband and wife is more in confrontation with one another and in interaction than in a joint family.In any case if some misunderstandings are happening between couples then there are no guardians to solve the problem and they do it in their ways.But compared to that in joint family there are elders who would have guided one or the other how to deal with the situations and certainly things would have been better sorted out.Obviously there are other reasons between couples which are their own like satisfaction, expectations etc, but if there is anybody else in the family as in the case of the joint family they could have talked about their problems and could have sorted out in a more organised fashion. In a nuclear family couples often tend to be rigid in their views and from that ego problem arises,There is nobody between them to speak on behalf or to make the situation normal so unhappiness may increase more and more...

Today people are not happy with nuclear families but they have no option rather to opt it. As we are going global day by day the nuclear families are increasing and happiness is decreasing. Everyone wants to be with their parents & relatives but that is not possible today. Joint families give you more happiness and courage to live...... :)

I am not from either side.... I have seen both the examples where most of the people are not happy.... I am talking about husband and wife ... both are not happy in either case.... means there is a compromise with your happiness.... and marriage is the name of compromise or adjustments like a friendship where you have to tolerate something and enjoy something as well. I am living with my parents and feel happy that I am paying interest on investment made by parents on me ... but my wife is not happy because she has to follow certain things to ensure respect in the family environment. Whereas my friend is living like a nuclear family.... where he found that he is not doing anything for his parents on emotional ground... yes he is supporting them on financial matters .... but his wife is happy and enjoying the freedom means no restriction. sometime his wife also feel that his parents can take care of his kids in her absence ... All together its a gape of supply and demand.. practically. Now you tell me if both are not happy in either case means where these are satisfied.
