Abstract: Models of nuptiality developed by Coale are applied to data for India taken from the 1971 census. The author concludes that the available data do not permit the use of these models and proposes an alternative method involving the use of computerized searching. This method is used to analyze Indian nuptiality data. Substantial differences in nuptiality patterns between the sexes are noted. (ANNOTATION)
