| Abstract | Conducted in the Punjab in Jhok Sayal, a predominantly Muslim village, this narrative study described: the environment and living conditions of women in this rural village (comprised mainly of tenants and landless labourers); the attitudes of the women toward education, marriage, family planning, and skills; and the woman's daily and annual activities. Sixty-three married women from 63 separate households were interviewed. Of these 63, none were household heads. Findings included: 87% lived in "Katcha" houses made of mud, dung, and straw; the neater, better maintained structures ("Pucca" houses) belonged to the tenants; most lived in close proximity to livestock, and without separate latrine and cooking facilities; a full day was spent engaged in hard, physical labour, interspersed with child-care, housework, food preparation, and home-related skills; their physical chores were intensified during the planting, harvest, and processing seasons; they attached greater importance to the education of males; 62% wished their daughters to be married between the age of 12 and 17; preference for sons, economic security in old age, "it is God's will", and fear of birth control were given for nonacceptance of family planning; and most women disapproved of selling their skills (i.e., pickle making, straw work, clay pottery, spinning, sewing) for cash.
