ABSTRACT
The family is one of the main causes of morally arbitrary inequality. It is not an inequality that makes everyone better off. And it is not inevitable that we should have the family. This chapter speaks about Rawlsian by looking at the justice of the family from the point of view of the worst off. It is mystifying that the family should be maintained for citizens to develop a sense of justice, at the cost of diminished justice. The chapter examines whether the family should be deemed necessary by a prior and independent principle of justice in this way. The family is the most accepted solution given to the fact that some must take responsibility for young dependents. State legislation operates on the basis of the additional assumption that the biological family is the most acceptable form for this institution, and accepts other forms only when they are judged successfully to mimic the biological one.
