Abstract

The chapter discusses how historically, conventional family structures have significantly influenced societal perceptions of gender. The work attempts to highlight the importance of recognising and protecting “atypical” family units. By “atypical”, the authors mean units which may not adhere to the conventional model of family but deserve equal legal protection and social welfare benefits.
