Question

Why do female migrants outnumber male migrants from rural to rural areas?

Answer 1

Female migrants outnumber male migrants in rural-to-rural areas mainly because of marriage. In India, it is a common social practice for a woman to move to her husband's village after marriage. This tradition leads to a large number of women migrating from one rural area to another. Unlike men, whose migration is often work-related, most female migration in rural areas is due to social and cultural reasons like marriage.
