Who studied the structural and functional unity of joint family in Mahua?
I.P. Desai
I.P. Desai carried out the classic village study in Mahua (Gujarat), reported in Some Aspects of Family in Mahuva (1964), to test how far the joint family survived in a partially urbanised setting.
He redefined jointness in terms of kinship interaction and mutual obligations rather than only common residence and property, and showed that the structural and functional unity of the joint family continued even when its members lived apart.
K.M. Kapadia wrote broadly on marriage and family, A.R. Desai worked on rural sociology and nationalism, and A.M. Shah later refined household typology, but the Mahua study is I.P. Desai's.
Hence, the scholar who studied the structural and functional unity of the joint family in Mahua is I.P. Desai.
