title: On the distribution of distance associated with marriage migration in rural areas of Uttar Pradesh, India.
abstract: "This paper examines the relationship between marriage and migration distance through a probabilistic model with two parameters.  The suitability of the present model is tested with several sets of observed data collected from the rural areas in 1978 in Eastern Uttar Pradesh, India; and it is found that the model fits the observed data reasonably well."
