Following the comparative method of analysis, this paper examines the marital status characteristics of rural to urban migrants in 3 Indian states-Biharm West Bengal, and Kerala. The discussion is based on the Census of India, 1971. The main thrust of this paper is that as these 3 states tend to differ markedly in terms of the social and cultural value system, the marital status characteristics of migrants also differ between states. Important findings emerging from this study are as follows. 1) Singles are more migratory than marrieds where singles are more likely to be males than females. 2) Similarly married females are greater migrants than married males. 3) However, these differences by sex are much less marked in Kerala than in Bihar and West Bengal. Married migrants tend to migrate alone rather than with their family in Bihar and West Bengal, while in Kerala family migration is more common than individual migration.
采用比较分析方法，本文研究了印度比哈尔邦、西孟加拉邦和喀拉拉邦这三个邦农村到城市移民的婚姻状况特征。讨论基于1971年印度人口普查。本文的主要观点是，由于这三个邦在社会和文化价值体系方面存在显著差异，不同邦的移民婚姻状况特征也有所不同。该研究得出的重要发现如下：1）单身者比已婚者更具迁移性，其中单身男性比单身女性更有可能迁移。2）同样，已婚女性比已婚男性迁移性更强。3）然而，喀拉拉邦的性别差异比哈尔邦和西孟加拉邦小得多。在比哈尔邦和西孟加拉邦，已婚移民倾向于独自迁移而非与家人一起，而在喀拉拉邦，家庭迁移比个人迁移更为普遍。
