Ukraine family structure
Diverse historical and archaeological materials indicate the
existence of monogamous families in Ukraine from times it was inhabited. Monogamous families in their turn can be divided into:
nuclear (simple, elementary);
extended families.
In the ancient times Ukrainian families had the form of large extended families. They consisted of several generations, lived together and had common ownership. There was a head of the family who controlled the common law and order observance. Such type of families existed for a long period of time.
