| Summary: | Family is an important institution in the formation of a society. In traditional
society, family functions as a driving force in economic, social, education and religion. Its members work together or help each other in productive activities,
along with educating children in matters relating to the good life skills or
religious matters. Although work activities are divided according to gender,
all family members and relatives provide each other their mutual assistance,
especially during sad moments of distress or death or happy occasions such as
marriage. This is not surprising because many family members are living in or
near the same village. Current relationship based on traditional family ties
are eroding due to modernization followed by urbanization of traditional
society. Migration of young people to urban areas to participate in city
activities which are of new work patterns has changed patterns of marriage
and family relationship in the traditional society. In view of the above
description, this article tries to analyse matters relating to patterns of marriage
and family relationship in Cam society. Do the patterns of marriage and family
in the said community has changed its nature from formerly of endogamy to

relationship within members of the communityt? Are there any other factors
other than those mentioned above which influence these changes. Data
presented in this article is based on the research that has been crried out in
Cam community in Malaysia and Cambodia |
