The paper deals with the non-European marital pattern and its determinants in an agrarian society before the onset of deliberate fertility decline. A wide range of patterns, from very early and almost universal to late marriage, existed among the populations of European Russia at the end of the nineteenth century. The analysis confirmed a close association, particularly between marital behaviour and socio-economic institutions. Scarcity of labour relative to land, the principle of landholding and land usage according to the amount of labour in the extensive type of family, and an equal-heir inheritance system were found to be conducive to early and common marriage. The spatial differentiation of marital patterns was found to be due to regional modifications in the above institutions, the degree of literacy, size of rural settlements, industrial and urban development, and the sex composition
