Description:Marriages dropped substantially in 1985 in every region almost every month most States, and for every marital-status group.
The number of marriages was 2,412,625 in 1985, down 3 percent from the historic high level reached in 1984 (table 1). The 1985 marriage rate per 1,000 total population was 10.1, down 4 percent from 1984 (10.5). Although the rate per 1,000 total population was not an unusually low rate, the rates based on eligible unmarried female population dipped to record low levels (figure 1 and table 1). The rate per 1,000 unmarried women aged 15 years and over was 57.0, down 4 percent from 1984, and the rate per 1,000 unmarried women aged 15–44 years was 94.9, also 4 percent below the rate for 1984.
