dc.description.abstractToday more than ever in the past, clan structures in which marriage took roots are disintegrating. The kitiul system is one of the matrilineal customary forms of marriage that still prevails. It portrays the communal continuance of the family lineage and the preservation of the unity of the visible and invisible families within an anthropology of clan relatedness. Captivated by the psycho-religious, theological, missionary, pastoral and soteriological questions that it raises in the Church, I selected this topic of marriage and the hereafter. Aiming at an inculturated form of marriage for Yansi Christians, our methodology will be expository, deductive, analytical and comparative. It dwells upon socio - anthropological field research already done by others in the African context. That is, as source, we made moderate attempt to consult quite an amount of French and English literature on different fields of marriage and salvation. However, the scope of this study remains that of kitiul customary marriage in the Yansiland, so to come up with a contextual idea of inculturation. The scheme of our essay follows the different chapters purposely organised. They develop and separate the intertwined themes conveyed in this work. The first chapter much longer than others intends to narrow down the presentation of the Yansi location, their system of marriage based on their world - view, and the socio-religious function of the kithd. The second chapter sketches out the Church teaching on marriage and the presents the sacramental life of these people in their pastoral milieu. The third one assesses and discusses critically church and kitiul traditions on marriage and pave the way to the fourth chapter that deals with inculturation. All together, this essay modestly tries to analyse the marital situation among the Yansi in order to implement properly the teaching of the Church; to empower her people and promote better communal life in a Church known as a family.en_US
