According to various Census reports and studies on migration in India, marriage is the predominant reason for migration among females. Social customs, particularly the practice of women moving to their husband’s household after marriage (patrilocality), are the primary driver. While employment, education, and business also contribute to female migration, marriage accounts for the largest share.

– Marriage accounts for the majority of female migration in India.
– Employment and education are more common reasons for male migration, although increasingly relevant for females as well.
– The pattern of migration is heavily influenced by socio-cultural factors like marriage practices.

Census 2011 data showed that around 67% of female migrants in India cited marriage as the reason for migration, compared to about 3% for males. Employment/Business accounted for about 2% of female migration compared to 38% for males.
