Relation between age at marriage and completed size of family has been studied by many demographers, but no consistent relationship has been demonstrated (Sinha, 1952; Smith, 1960; Tuan, 1958). Although the average numbers of children ever-born generally decrease with rise in age at marriage, sometimes females marrying below 16 years of age have been found to have fewer children ever-born than those marrying at ages 16 to 18 years. I t has been said that the females under 16 years may not have been physiologically fully developed to carry their pregnancies to a successful end, and quite often their pregnancies may terminate in early or late foetal deaths, thus impairing their future reproductive capacity. However, with regard to studies made in various parts of India, a broad generalization could be made that women marrying later than 19 years of age had approximately one child less than those marrying between the ages of 15 and 19 years. For example, in The Mysore Study, it was found that females marrying between 14 and 17 years gave birth to 5.9 children, while those marrying between 18 and 21 years eventually gave birth to only 4.7 children (United Nations, 1961).

132 parents of retarded children were investigated to determine their attitudes toward voluntary sterilization. Approval-disapproval intensity and information were measured. Attitudes were related to each other to religion and to geographic area. The results showed that 60% of the total sample approved sterilization. 72% of the Protestants 60% of the Jews 16% of the Catholics and 73% of those who failed to indicate their religion approved sterilization. There was a positive correlation between approval and intensity and information. Over 1/3 had lower approval scores because they believed that sterilization and castration were synonymous. The lack of information on this subject indicates a need for parental counseling. Further research is needed to analyze attitudes and to relate them to such variables as the childs age and IQ and his ability to sustain a stable marriage to rear children and to understand the meaning of the operation.
