Abstract

Forming a family is almost a must for the Asian nations. Something like 99% of Asians once in their life between 20 and 30 years of age form a family. Asia as compared with the West is traditional in this respect. Around the age of 20 and over, usually other family members interfere to organize a new family unit for those younger. Such a cycle continues leading to sustainability of young generations. New families formed usually continue for 50 years, or even more until one of the espouses is dead, and the family is dissolved after the death of the remaining partner. The remaining family is so-called "half family". The sustainability of family in old age is worth noting. Such families, or half families face various unforeseen problems needing in-depth sociological studies from beginning to the end, and if not challenges/ problems such as divorce, desertion, emotional divorce and the like appear.
