From the above table it would be seen that the Hindus, except the Muslims, had got the highest number of females married and the lowest number of females unmarried. The Jainas had fewer unmarried females except the Hindus, fewer married females and more widowed, both male and female, than the general figures. The proportion of unmarried females was nearly the same in the Hindu and Jaina communities, but the difference was more prominent in the disparate proportion of married females and wido on account of the high proportion of widows amongst the Jainas. This unusually high proportion of widowed, especially among the females, seemed to be the predominant feature of the Jaina community upto 1931 as could be seen from the statement given in Table 24
