- Consanguineous Marriage in India: A Geospatial Analysis
Abstract Content (not more than 300 word, should include: Introduction, Objective, Methodology, critical findings & Conclusion):
Consanguineous marriage is a marital union between close-blood relatives and has been practiced in various communities around the globe at varying rates based on geography, culture, and religion. The present study examines the spatial heterogeneity of consanguineous marriage across India's districts and its socioeconomic and demographic factors. This study utilized the data from the fifth round of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5), 2019-21. The analytical sample size was 542,830 ever-married women aged 15-49. Bivariate analysis and geospatial techniques- Moran’s I, univariate and bivariate local indicator of spatial association (LISA), and spatial regression models were carried out for 707 districts in India. The basic analysis was completed using Stata, ArcMap 10.5 for prevalence mapping, and GeoDA for spatial regression analysis. About one out of every tenth marriages are consanguineous in India. In general, southern parts of India, except Kerala, had the highest prevalence of consanguineous marriage, and north-eastern parts had the lowest prevalence. The clustering of consanguineous marriage was significantly higher in the districts belonging to the states of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and some districts of Maharashtra, Telangana, and Odisha. There is a marked geographical gradient in the prevalence of consanguineous marriages across the districts. Regional disparities, religious affiliations, age at marriage, and Scheduled Caste (SC) status are the significant spatial correlates of consanguineous marriage in the country.
