Abstract :

The present study was conducted to investigate the marital conflicts among 240 couples of Jammu City having high, middle and low socio- economic status. Random sampling technique was used for sample selection and data was collected using interview guide. The results of the study revealed that marital conflicts exist in all the selected families. The main reason for marital conflicts in high socio- economic group was business tours of husbands, while conflicts due to needs of children and job of both the partners were causes of conflict in middle socio- economic group. Husband's alcoholism and low income were reasons in couples having low socio- economic status. In all these families, majority of the wives took first step for compromise as compared to husbands.
