Abstract: (171 Views)
Background: Marriage is one of the most complex human relationships and plays a fundamental role in the daily lives of adults. For this purpose, the present study was conducted with the aim of determining the factors affecting the non-marriage of single people aged 30 to 45.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted using a multistage random sampling method among 403 single people aged 30-45 years in the comprehensive health centers of Kermanshah City, Iran. The data collection tool was a self-administered questionnaire covering demographic characteristics and factors influencing late marriage. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient test, t-test, and analysis of variance (ANOVA).
Findings: The most reported reason for not marrying was the economic factor (66.80%), followed by individual (49.53%), cultural (47.95%), social (43.21%), and family (42.93%) factors. Gender, education, occupation, income, and family composition were related to the average score of the economic, social, and individual factors (P < 0.05). Having an unmarried sibling was also related to the average score of the individual factor (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: In the current study, the most effective factors of celibacy included economic, personal, and cultural factors, which were independent of each other but simultaneously effective on the issue of celibacy. In fact, to solve this problem, planning and action should be taken to improve the conditions of all three factors.
