Kinship is understood as relationships in a society through blood and marriage. It is considered a fundamental cultural basis. From kinship systems, social norms develop in communities, including rights and responsibilities, which greatly influence behavior. These systems are described as terms of kinship, relationships and groups in a society. Kinship ultimately has two fundamental functions across kinship systems that are crucial to the preservation of culture and societies. First of all, these ties guarantee the continuation of generations and the formation of the family. Very important are the lines of descent, the education and upbringing of children, the compromise to provide material goods and inherit social positions. Secondly, because kinship is based on interdependent relationships, there are well-established help systems. These, however, would be compromised by the cultural implications of extended or nuclear kinship groups. Furthermore, marriage may or may not be based on blood relations. Both consanguineous and kindred relationships represent a strong bond. However, cultural norms would determine whether both have the same value or acceptance in each society. Anthropologists have studied the implications of kinship. One of the themes being researched is that between kinship and social relationships. The Awlad 'Ali Bedouin society in the Western Desert, studied by Abu-Lughod in 1978-1980, through his ethnography "Veiled Sentiments" (1986), showed distinct evidence of the influence of kinship and kindred ties in their kinship idiom and how it relates to their social interactions and relationships. In this way the different types of social relationships are defined. Kinship is “ a key factor in the formation of social groups ”, where it comes down...... the center of the card... its. These children, especially boys, provide her with a more stable status among her husband's relatives, as she may still be considered an outsider long after marriage. “Women's position and attitude towards the bonds created by marriage provide the clearest indication of the ideological dominance of agnation in social identity and relationships in Bedouin society.” Polygyny, that is, one husband taking more than one wife, is accepted by the Awlad 'Ali, and they see in it everything that is beneficial to life. Co-wives are part of key support systems, raising children together. In addition to these relationships formed by cultural tradition, the Awla Ali also have bonds of "fictitious kinship" with those who share not blood or marriage, but who feel close as if they were almost kin. 'Isha is the Bedouin kinship term for these relationships.
