Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R) : Assertion (A) : Family is a universal institution. Reason (R) : It is expected to transfer sexual rights to the spouses in family. Select the correct answer from the codes given below :
Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
The universality of the family is a classic functionalist claim. G. P. Murdock's survey of 250 societies found the nuclear family, alone or within larger forms, in every one of them, and he traced its persistence to four universal functions: sexual, reproductive, economic and educational.
The Assertion is therefore true: some form of family exists in all known societies. The Reason is also true, because marriage and the family do socially legitimise and regulate sexual relations between spouses.
However, the regulation of sexual rights is only one of several functions, and sexual access is not confined to the family in every society. The universality of the family rests on the whole bundle of its functions, especially reproduction, socialisation of children and economic co-operation, so the Reason does not by itself explain why the family is universal.
Treating the Reason as the full explanation overstates one function; calling either statement false contradicts the comparative evidence on family and marriage.
Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A) option is correct.
