NOTES<br />
1 Age misreport<strong>in</strong>g is common <strong>in</strong> rural <strong>Bangladesh</strong> primarily because age is not recorded at the<br />
time of birth. There may also be some deliberate exaggeration of age for married girls s<strong>in</strong>ce<br />
18 is the legal age at marriage.<br />
2 As noted by L<strong>in</strong>denbaum (1981) and Am<strong>in</strong> and Ca<strong>in</strong> (1997) the English word demand is<br />
commonly used <strong>to</strong> refer <strong>to</strong> dowry demands made by the groom.<br />
