For computation of General Marital Fertility Rate (GMFR), the denominator is taken as

  • A.All the currently married females
  • B.Ever married females in the reproductive age-group
  • C.All the female population in the reproductive age group
  • D.Currently married female population in the reproductive age-group

Answer: D

The denominator for the general marital fertility rate is the currently married female population in the reproductive age group. The numerator is the number of births, and the rate shows the fertility of women who are exposed to the risk of childbirth through marriage.

All currently married females would include those outside the age group, ever married females include widowed and divorced women, and all women in the age group is the denominator of the general fertility rate.
