It is important to understand that family is also a legal term. It refers to a group of people who are closely related to each other. It also includes persons who live together in a permanent manner. For instance, a married couple are regarded as one single unit when it comes to family law. On the other hand, if there is no marriage, it would mean that a family cannot exist.

We often see families that are created in a very special way. It could be the result of marriage, adoption, and even surrogacy. These groups of people must be considered for family law. This is because they have rights and obligations towards each other and those rights need to be protected.

For example, if a man dies, his heirs become family members. If you have children, they are your family members too. You may have more than one set of family members. It is important to know that each set has its own legal status.
