Abstract
Marriage as an institution in Indian context seems to work as a moderator for self-esteem, especially among women.
Parents of middle class households feel that their daughters are safer when married. The present study was done
against this backdrop to find out the difference in the level of self- esteem among married and unmarried women college students. The sample
consisted of 82 college students (41 married and 41 unmarried). The data was collected from the various colleges in Coimbatore. The tool
used was Rosenberg's Self- Esteem Questionnaire. The results revealed that there is no significant difference in the level of self: esteem among
married and unmarried women college students.
