My point is families WILL break if there is "no explicit need" for them to remain together, especially patriarchial families. Most joint families are patriarchial in nature. They are built around ownership of resources and not due to natural instincts. There is no such instinct as father instinct. Simply the humans did not evolve with the knowledge who the father was. All they needed was a dominant man around.

So the patriarchial joint families are miracles indeed as far as nature is concerned. A lot of compromise is demanded from the women's part. One can only imagine how odd they will feel living with strangers. So women expect a lot of compensation for their compromises.
