Abstract

The single women are emerging phenomena in the 21st century. They are the force to reckon with and have the potential to change the course of the near future. A woman in India has always been looked upon as an appendage to man where her identity is looked upon as a daughter, as a wife and as a mother and where her existence as such centers on her father, husband and son. Single unmarried women are looked with suspicion and are labeled when not married. The society starts suspecting and finding many faults as to why they are not married. There is a lot of pressure from the family too as the family believes that the right place for a girl is in her husbands house. The phenomenon of singlehood among women is claiming serious attention among social workers, journalists and women activists and bound to assume greater importance as the years gradually roll by. This present study tries to examine the status of single woman in the present scenario and the state of Karnataka is chosen as it is one of the most literate state in the country. Present study is based on primary data and ANOVA is used for analyzing the collected data. SPSS Ver. 20.0 is used for data analysis.
