Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: d) All of the above
Women from Bihar migrate for a variety of reasons, including marriage, joining their husbands, and work in domestic or care sectors.
- Marriage: Marriage is a major reason for female migration in India. According to the 2011 census, 12.6% of women in India were married before the age of 18. This is higher than the national average of 9.2%. In Bihar, the percentage of women married before the age of 18 is even higher, at 18.2%. This means that a large number of women in Bihar are married off at a young age, and many of them are forced to migrate to their husband’s village or town.
- Joining their husbands: After marriage, many women migrate to their husband’s village or town to join them. This is often the case in rural areas, where there are few job opportunities for women. In urban areas, women may migrate to join their husbands if they have found a job there.
- Work in domestic or care sectors: Many women from Bihar migrate to work in domestic or care sectors in other parts of India. This is a major source of employment for women in Bihar, and it is often the only way for them to earn a living. Women who work in domestic or care sectors often face exploitation and abuse.
In addition to these reasons, women from Bihar may also migrate for education, health care, or to escape poverty.
