Age at marriage is one of the factors that influence the fertility behaviour of women, particularly in a society like Nepal where contraceptive use is low. Socioeconomic and cultural factors, particularly religion and ethnicity, are important variables in determining age at marriage in Nepal. Fertility was negatively related with age at marriage. Marriage duration had a greater influence on fertility than age at marriage, although these were strongly correlated.
结婚年龄是影响女性生育行为的因素之一，在尼泊尔这样一个避孕措施使用率较低的社会尤其如此。社会经济和文化因素，特别是宗教和种族，是决定尼泊尔结婚年龄的重要变量。生育与结婚年龄呈负相关。婚姻持续时间对生育的影响比结婚年龄更大，尽管二者密切相关。
