Abstract

The main objective of the present research was to examine the impact of marital and work status on life satisfaction among Muslim women of Ranchi Town. It was hypothesized that there is no difference between married & un-married and working & non-working Muslim women on life satisfaction. The sample of the study comprised of 40 Muslim women (20 working and 20 non-working) of Ranchi Town. To collect the required data for the present study life satisfaction scale developed by Alam and Srivastava, (1996) which contains 60 items was administered on all participants. The obtained data were analyzed with the help of Percentages, Mean, SD and ‘t’ test.

Result showed that most Muslim women of the total sample had average level of life satisfaction but no significant differences between married & un-married and working & non-working Muslim women on life satisfaction was found.
