The concept of family in Frafra culture is a complex nest of relationships that go back to the past and outside one’s residence. The father is the head of the family.  He had a double image: one at home and the other outside. In his home, he was the master, but outside, he became part of a community where he recognised that alone, he was vulnerable and made connections and friends with others. He had to hold a certain moral high ground to be recognised among the comity of men.
