Kinship is the bond that unites people who descend from the same lineage. Two types are recognized: by consanguinity and affinity. In a significant proportion of societies, domestic life is dominated by larger groupings than nuclear families. Probably, most contemporary cultures still carry out their domestic routines in the context of some form of extended family, that is, a domestic group composed of siblings, their spouses and their children and / or parents and married children.
In the case of indigenous and Afro-descendant peoples in the Family Code of the Republic of Nicaragua, the different forms of kinship, affiliation, descent and family name are recognized, respected and protected according to the cultural particularities of each town. In all cases, gender and generational equity are recognized and respected.
