 Of course! According to the most recent data available from the Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India, the marriage rate in India was 7.4 marriages per 1,000 population in 2020. This means that approximately 7.4% of the Indian population got married in that year.
It's worth noting that the marriage rate in India has been declining over the past few decades. In 1990, the marriage rate was 10.6 marriages per 1,000 population, and by 2010 it had decreased to 6.6 marriages per 1,000 population. This decline is largely due to a decrease in the average age of marriage, as well as an increase in education and economic opportunities for women, which have led to a shift towards later marriage.
It's also worth noting that the marriage rate varies significantly across different states in India. For example, in 2020, the marriage rate was highest in the state of Uttar Pradesh (10.3 marriages per 1,000 population), followed by Bihar (9.6 marriages per 1,000 population), and lowest in the state of Goa (3.6 marriages per 1,000 population).
I hope this information is helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.
