Joint Family System Might Lead to Sexual Harassment and The Stories of these People Exactly Tells Us Why!

It is not unusual to hear how a woman or a man, for that matter, was harassed by someone from their own family. When children of the similar age group grow together, these are the common stories we hear, but never acknowledge them.

At the certain age, with the change in the hormonal activities, the tendency of men controlling their hormones has led to serious sexual harassment cases all over the world. Living in a joint family system indicates interaction with cousins of the similar age group on daily basis. There are a number of families all over the world that encourage cousin marriages and therefore, living the same household is not regarded as a threat to the children.

What many parents and elders neglect, how cousins who grow up together may sexually harass one another as well. Such education is never given to children.
