Marital Trend of Female Students during COVID-19 Pandemic in Bangladesh: A Causal Analysis

Abstract

This study, is aimed to delineate the most recent matrimonial tendencies of female  students during the lockdown period of Bangladesh. Since the theme is absolutely a new phenomenon to be explored by maintaining ethical concern in academic research, this article is deemed to contribute as a fundamental investigation. The study, in first instance claims that the inclination of female marriage is a causal effect of Covid-19. A mixed method is being followed in this study to unfold the causal variables behind the fact of the theme. The study is an empirically observational 
exploration, which mainly delineated a triadic sources of data and information viz, qualitative, quantitative and observational. It could be noted that the COVID-19 is a new pandemic, hence secondary data is insufficient. Thus, a substantial number of primary, secondary and observational data and information along with new real/normal life experience have been placed in this very recent thematic article. The Covid-19 is a worldwide lesson for all human beings irrespective of color, sex, creed, religions, ethnicity, racial and even national identity. There is no boundary and limit of horizontal boundary of Covid-19. It crossed all over the world without any schedule of time bound directions. Unfortunately, the pandemic already took away a total of 28,028 lives from Bangladesh (as of 12th December 2021) and total 5.31 million from the world during the same period. As we all are concerned that Bangladesh is over populated, moreover this early marriage would even 
create more causal complications within the next couple of years. This study found that a substantial number of factors instigated to both parents and new couples to live together by getting marriage instead of staying at least 6 feet away from eachother during the unsafe period of Covid-19, prescribed by the WHO. C
