INTRODUCTION
Family is the core institution in the societal
structure. It is the nucleus of a culture universally.
The family alliances are strengthened by affective
role performance of members and interaction with
each other. As Sharaievska notes (U.S Census 2010)
in which family is defined as a group of two people
or more (one of whom is the householder) related
by birth, marriage, or adoption and residing. The
survival, intimacy and love among family members
cannot be build up without the institution of family.
Families be it the family of orientation or family of
procreation either performs many social functions.
The family institution is responsible for the rearing
and caring of its members and enculturation of
cultural values and norms.
In an era of globalization the family institution has
drastically been affected like all other social
institutions .Globalization refers to a set of social
processes that are thought to transform our
present social condition into one of globality
(Steger 2009). The swift results of Globalization can
improve the communication and interaction among
different societies. The process of globalization has
both social and psychological impacts on family
institution. The transformation of extended family
systems into nuclear family systems is the result of
globalization and awareness created by ICT.
