1) The total period first marriage rate describes the proportion of women, here per 100 persons, that contract marriage in their lives, on condition that none of them die and that the marriage rate in the pertinent cohort remains constant throughout the period when these women belong to the age groups of 15 to 49 years. It is computed by adding up the age-specific marriage rates of first marriages in the whole period. The marriage rate here is calculated in proportion to those having contracted marriage per all women of the age group.
