| Summary: | MA (Tshivenda) === M.E.R. MathivhaCentre for African Languages, Arts and Culture === The study explores the value of having children in Tshivenda culture
among the Vhavenda in the olden days as well as now. It deals with the
value of having children in the Vhavenda culture comparing the olden
days and nowadays which includes introduction, the value of children
based on their gender. For instance when a boy was born, they would say,
he will propagate the surname. When a girl was born, they would say, she
has brought wealth to the family because she would get married and
move to another family and bring the parental family dowry or cattle.
The study will also look into ways in which the Vhavenḓa handles marital
problems today within the family as well as issues of having children,
that is adoption, surrogacy and artificial insermination.
