Inuit Tribe

I want to include tribes in my research because they often have interesting marital beliefs so I found the Inuit Tribe and looked into their beliefs.


Inuits are not strictly monogamous: many Inuit relationships are implicitly or explicitly sexually open marriages. Polygamy (heterosexual marriage including more than two people), divorce and remarriage are fairly common. Some divorces require community approval. Marriage is usually arranged at early age or forced on a couple by the community.
A household may contain a man and his wife, or wives and children, it might include parents and adopted children; family structure is flexible.

Every household has a head, an elder or a particularly respected man.
