EXTRACTS/SOURCES* Traditional African family life depended to a great extent on kinship relationships and support networks across extended family lines. In keeping with the African cultural tradition, close relatives were expected to take the initial responsibility to provide needy children and other poor members of the family with food, clothing, shelter, health care and education. Among the Luo of Western Kenya, for example, if a parent died, the surviving members of the extended family were often close at hand to ensure that the children and other dependants were cared and provided for. Part of the obligation of the extended family system was to assist those who were in need (p. 200). A more critical look at the traditional family system in Africa reveals a wide range of family relationships, marital forms and the potential for instability and child abuse. Although there is no question that polygyny was widely practised in Kenya, particularly among the rich and famous, much of the literature on the subject tends to emphasize its advantages, such as cooperation between co-wives, especially with regard to sharing child-rearing and other responsibilities, and to de-emphasize some of the problems and other dynamics associated with the practice.
