Abstract

The paper is to study the status of marriage and its limitations on the basis of secondary analysis and the data obtained from the 2006 head count. The results show that the ratio of unmarried population is different concerning age groups, and urban and rural areas. In addition, with the rise of level of education, the level of unmarried population increases, though this increase for both sexes in rural areas is more than that in urban areas. The results of calculating marriage limitations too show that up to 2011 the girls have limitations, while 2011-2021 the boys will have such limitations. However, this limitation is not much intense and the youths will be able to cope with the flexible market of marriage and the age-based distribution of the available partners.
