Frameworks of Marriage and Fertility (Theoretical Aspects)

Posha Parveen

Abstract: It is an established fact that processes like marriage and fertility are inter-related. It is very tough to isolate the phenomenon of child bearing by women and their marriage timing especially when we look it through Indian context. Nearly in all of the notable Indian states, the rate of fertility among both the sexes is coming down, some states of India have formerly completed the achievement of the transition process by attaining the fertility at replacement level or they are at the last stage of attaining it.
