These factors were the level of education, illit- eracy, poverty, myriad social customs and values, religious beliefs and the mindset of society to view marriage as a sacrament. According to The United States Air Force Thunderbirds perform for the crowd during the Dyess Big Country AirFest at Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene, a study, about 75 per cent of married women in India are subjected to Texas.
