Abstract
Demographers and other social scientists from less developed countries have shown interest recently in the study of the age at marriage., especially of women, as a prime determinant of fertility in countries where contraception is not widely practised. The age at marriage is also considered one of the best indicators for studying the status of women in developing countries (Vag-liani, 1980).
