The institution of family is challenged by :

  • A.Alcoholism
  • B.Chronic illness
  • C.Live-in relationships
  • D.Divorce

Answer: C

On the key, the institution of the family is challenged by live-in relationships.

Live-in relationships are an alternative to marriage itself: couples live together without the formal marital bond on which the family as an institution rests. Their growth therefore questions the institution of the family, its norms of marriage, legitimacy and kinship, rather than only affecting particular families.

Alcoholism, chronic illness and divorce cause problems within or for individual families, but they do not offer an alternative to the family as an institution, which is the distinction the key draws.
