Abstract

The process of modernity in Iran has had important effects, including changing the structure of the family and marriage. Examination of longitudinal data shows an increase in marriage age, an increase in the percentage of men and women who have never married at the age of marriage, a decrease in the marriage rate, a decrease in fertility rate, and an increase in the divorce rate. This process is more prevalent among educated youths. In this research, using the survey technique, a comparative analysis has been done to explain the attitude of university students and Tollabs to marriage, as educated groups.

The results showed that the percentage of attitude to marriage among the group of students and the group of Tollab was 64% and 92% respectively. Among the factors affecting the dependent variable (attitude to marriage), internal barriers, benefits of marriage, and external barriers have had the greatest impact on the explanation. According to the regressions performed in the group of students (75.9% girls, 78% boys) and in the Tollab group (77.2% girls and 58.8% boys), the dependent variable has been explained.

Key Concepts: Marriage attitude, Marriage Benefits and Costs, Internal and External Barriers to Marriage, Students, and Tollabs.
