Research Abstract	This research focused on choices and decision about career and marriage of youth from socially and economically weaker section in India who had experienced street lives to explore communal relationships constructing process of them. Generally, youth people count on their family and relatives when they make choices and decisions concerned to career and marriage. However, cases of youth who had rehabilitated from NGO shelter homes shows that they construct multiple communal relationships on the basis of relationship with NGO staffs and people had connection with NGO. These youth re-construct communal relationship with own family at hometown. These multiple relationships are complementary to each other to influence processes of their choices and decisions making.
