•Family law may be defined as that body of law which attempts to regulate the internal
relationships within the family and the relationships of the family to the outside world. Family
law deals with marriage, divorce, adoption, child custody and support and other domestic-relations
issues.
•Family is a group of people connected by a close relationship. For legal purposes a family is
usually limited to relationships by blood, marriage, or adoption. A person’s parents, spouse,
children and siblings create his or her immediate family. The courts have interpreted the word
family to include unmarried couples living together as husband and wife in permanent and stable
relationships.
