Among studied families, husbands at the age of between 30 and 40 years account for 60%; wives between 20 and 29 years old 57.9%; husbands with the education level from Lower Secondary Degree and Intermediate Degree account for 28.6%; wives majorly with Lower Secondary Degree 42.1%; the majority of husbands work as business men (60%) and most wives (47.3%) work as housewives.
