Mr Swapan and Shoma work in the same institution. Having just married, they started living in Chattogram city. What is the family formed by the two called?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: d Neo-local family

The book says a couple in a separate home form a neo-local family, found among urban service holders.

Why the other options are wrong

a Anulome family: Anulome is a caste-based marriage type; the question says nothing of caste.
b Endogamous family: The question gives no sign of an endogamous family; it describes living in a new city.
c Joint family: In a joint family the married son stays under the parents' authority; here the couple are in a different city.
