Some Models for Distance Associated with Marriage Migration

This paper investigates the distribution of distance associated with marriage migration in the flood prone area of North-Eastern Bihar, India and an effort has been made to fit some mathematical model to marriage migration associated with distance. The survey was conducted during October 2009 to March 2010 on 664 households and data was collected from 930 married women. A well known mathematical model proposed by Morril & Pits has been applied on the data to check its suitability and a probability model (Weibull distribution) has been used to explain the phenomenon and found that both the model explains distance associated marriage migration.
