Marriage is an important social element which not only influences fertility and population growth but affects the nature of the family relationship and it is linked to the status of women. This paper attempts to examine the marriage patterns of NorthEastern states (Assam, Sikkim, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura and Arunachal Pradesh) in India using data from Census of India, 2011. Present work concentrates on nuptiality pattern, age at first marriage (Singulate mean age) in terms of male-female and also occurrence of residence i.e. rural and urban areas. It has been observed that the mean age at first marriage of NorthEastern states is 22.44 yrs as per 2011 which is less than national level (23.14 yrs) and for male and female is 24.20 yrs 20.57 yrs respectively. It also found that there is a wide gender gap of age at first marriage i.e. near about 4 yrs in urban areas where as near about 3 yrs in rural which is less than the urban areas. Among these northeastern states Nagaland has top position followed by Manipur and Mizoram where as Tripura ranked last followed by Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh on the basis of Mean Age at Marriage. The entire study has been completed with the help of secondary data collected from Census of India, 2011 and Hajnal's Singulate Mean Age at Marriage (SMAM) have been used to analyze nuptial status based on the census data.
