Abstract
With increasing women’s participation in the workforce and rising education levels, there is a growing need to understand how these factors intersect to influence marital adjustment among Indian women. This study aims to investigate and compare the marital adjustment of working and non-working women according to their education level. A sample of 151 married women, out of them 71 working women and 80 nonworking women from Pathardi (Ahmednagar) city of the age range from 28 – 53 years were taken for the study through purposive sampling method. The research method was analytical-descriptive and comparative type, and the Marital Adjustment Questionnaire of Kumar and Rohatgi (1985) was used for data collection. The results revealed that employed women have to face more adjustment problems in their married life as compared to unemployed married women. However, educational level was not found to have a direct effect on marital adjustment.
