本文探讨了世纪之交印度的亲属制度和性别比例之间的关系。由于亲属关系规则因种姓、语言、宗教和地区而异，我们使用1901年印度人口普查的数据，在地区层面上按这些类别构建了旁遮普（北部）、孟加拉（东部）和马德拉斯（南部）的性别比例。我们发现，男性与女性的性别比例随种姓等级的变化而变化，随着从北方到东方再到南方的迁移而下降，印度教徒的性别比例高于穆斯林，而北方说印度-雅利安语的人的性别比例高于南方说达罗毗荼语的人。我们认为，这些系统的数据模式是一致的家庭，亲属关系和继承制度的变化。
This article explores the relationship between kinship institutions and sex ratios in India at the turn of the twentieth century. Because kinship rules vary by caste, language, religion, and region, we construct sex ratios by these categories at the district level by using data from the 1901 Census of India for Punjab (North), Bengal (East), and Madras (South). We find that the male-to-female sex ratio varied positively with caste rank, fell as one moved from the North to the East and then to the South, was higher for Hindus than for Muslims, and was higher for northern Indo-Aryan speakers than for the southern Dravidian-speaking people. We argue that these systematic patterns in the data are consistent with variations in the institution of family, kinship, and inheritance.
