Abstract:
"This paper deals with marriage patterns and family types as prevalent in a village in Bangladesh." Data are from a survey conducted in 1977-1978. Five major patterns are identified: the incidence of prepubertal or underage marriage is declining, the majority of marriages are monogamous, polygamy is more common among the higher income group, the villagers have extensive kinship and marriage relationships outside the village, and the nuclear family is the dominant family type. A correlation between landholding size and family type is also noted.
