Which one among the following is the most important reason for female migration in India ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B

Explanation

According to the Census of India 2011, Marriage is the most important reason for female migration in the country. Data shows that approximately 70% of female migrants move due to marriage, making it the dominant factor in both rural-to-rural and rural-to-urban migration streams for women. In contrast, Work/Employment is the primary driver for male migration (accounting for about 38% of male migrants), while it accounts for only about 3% of female migration. This pattern is deeply rooted in the socio-cultural practice of patrilocality, where a woman typically moves to her husband's place of residence after marriage. Other factors like education and business represent a very small fraction of the total female migration volume.
