AIM:
Aim of the study is to understand marriage pattern amongst the JAISWAR sub caste of Kurmi caste of village Chandpara ( Bahraich distt.,U.P.).
OBJECTIVE:
1. To study different form of marriage practices of Jaiswar sub- caste in Bahraich district of Uttar Pradesh.
2. To find out relation between economic status of a family and their changing marriage practices within Jaiswars.
3. To examine the extent of absorption of brides from other castes within Jaiswars.
METHODOLOGY:
Apart from observation, major methodology used was semi-structured interviews. We prepared a list of set questions to be included in the interview, which were very basic. But since it was a semi-structured and open ended interview, the questions were majorly framed on the basis of interviewee’s responses. With the incoming responses, it was easier to frame further questions taking the conversation forward and consequently we were able to gain desired information. Also, this method seemed more appropriate in context of our inability to conduct pilot studies or accommodate prior knowledge about the study sample.
SAMPLE:
The present study includes a sample of 15 married women from the Jaiswar community of Chandpara village. The village lies in the Bahraich district which is one of the Nepal bordering districts of India. We tried to cover almost every Jaiswar family of the village with varied socio-economic status. Besides the major sample, unstructured interviews and conversation with other family members of women and the villagers, also form a major part of the study and findings.
INTRODUCTION:
Lately, the Census data is suggesting continuous and alarming disparities in the sex ratio of the nation, especially in the northern states of Haryana,
