A total of 250 women who had their last child born within 6 weeks to 6 months were selected systematically. Majority of the respondents were in age of 21 – 30 year (mean age 24.02 year± SD 6.45). Most of them (51.7%) were educated up to primary level having average family monthly income of Tk.6164/-(SD± 24.60/-). Of the total respondents 62.8% were married within 14-18 years of age which reflects the traditional practice of early marriage in rural area.
