Premarital sex is widely discouraged in India, particularly for young women, yet there is evidence that significant minorities of young men and women have engaged in sex before marriage. In a recent survey of youth aged 15–24 in six states, 15%of men and 4% of women reported having had premarital sex. A review of a number of less representative studies found rates of 15–30% among young men and 1–10% among young women. Evidence also suggests that sexually active unmarried youth rarely or inconsistently use contraceptives, which exposes many young women to the risks of unintended pregnancy and abortion.
