How can you prove your relation with your first cousin?

If someone is your first cousin that means that you have a parent who is the sibling (brother or sister) of one of the parents of that person. Normally, this kind of relationship is easy to prove; your parents know your cousins parents and are directly related to them, so they will testify to that relationship if needed. But then, sometimes people are separated from their parents, perhaps their parents have died, perhaps they were given up for adoption at an early age. In such cases, genetic testing can show that a relationship exists, although it can't really narrow it down to being a first cousin. If you check people's birth certificates you can generally find out who their parents were. If they don't have birth certificates, the research is harder.

Which role in the extended family is the most important?

In most of the families living in the Asian Continent, Mother is the important Role in the family. She has a lot of responsibilities over the family including the children.

Even though, men seem to be the bread winners, most of them are neglecting their responsibilities of bringing up the family. Earning money and spending it for the daily needs is not what the family expects from the bread winner. The expectations of caring and sharing and being by your side in any situation is what each and every member in the family expects. Here is the point where woman as a mother plays the real bread winner part.

She takes care of her families physical as well as the mental needs and she knows what her child needs the next moment without even the child asking her for it! Mothers have to be the judges in the family. Even if they do a single thing in favour of one person it affects the whole family. They always tries to satisfy their members to the maximum, but how many of them are successful is questionable.

Thinking of the important role in the family, there's a truth which can't be denied even by men is that they can not be able to run there family without their better half. It's always a family where the man finds his place to rest his pondering head and it's always his wife's lap. I think that there can be no one so important as the mother for she's the one who makes her family live a lively life.
