This research is concerned with analysing differentials in age at marriage and universality of marriage among Canadian women for the period from 1931 to 1976, using Canadian census data. The variables examined are place of residence (rural/urban), ethnicity and region. Trends and variations in female nuptiality are examined from a framework focussing upon the dimensions of marriage desirability, marriage feasibility and availability of mates. It is found that, while some convergence along these three variables has occurred and while the mid-twentieth Century upswing in female nuptiality was virtually universal, differentials in marriage pattern in terms of these variables remain. Cultural factors, particularly, appear to continue to exert an effect upon marriage pattern
