Marital Adjustment of Working and Non-Working Women – A Comparative Study

Abstract

This study is aimed at exploring the marital adjustment of working and non-working women. This study was conducted on fifty working and fifty non-working women in the age range of 20–40 years. To measure the marital adjustment of respondents, the Marital Adjustment Questionnaire prepared by Pramod Kumar and Kanchana Rohtagi was used. Findings of this study indicated that non-working women were better at marital adjustment. It was also found that marital adjustment was better in the later years of marriage as compared with the early years. Women from nuclear families were found to have better marital adjustment than women from joint families.
