A regular random sample of 300 rural women was selected,160 respondents in the village of Qasr Rashwan, 140 respondents in the village of Dar Al-Salam.. Frequency distribution tables, percentages, arithmetic mean, and standard deviation were used to display and describe the data, and the Spearman and Brown equation was used for prediction , and Gutman's coefficient, stability coefficient alpha )α( by Cronbach's method, to measure the stability of the measure of social exclusion of rural women, Pearson's simple correlation coefficient, and gradual multiple regression analysis were used to identify the order of social exclusion axes according to their relative importance within the scale. The most important results were that the stability coefficients of the measure of social exclusion of rural women and its sub-axes were all relatively high, which provides a great deal of confidence in the use of this measure.
