may come from different reasons.


Explanation:
I don't know what is the text about but I propose this translation assuming that they are talking about the different reasons a mother is the head of the family. Meaning, she is divorce or she is a single mom or something like this. I think this is what "orígenes" means in this case.
I hope it helps.
