Marriage Rate

Marriage rate refers to the number of marriages that occur within a specific population during a given period, usually expressed per 1,000 people annually. It helps to understand how common marriage is within a community or country over time. For example, a marriage rate of 6.5 per 1,000 means that for every 1,000 people, about 6 to 7 couples got married in that year. This rate can be influenced by cultural, economic, and social factors, providing insight into societal trends and attitudes toward marriage.
