ABSTRACT
The measurement of marital readiness needs to be based upon factors that could strengthen or weaken marital adjustment and sustainability. The few existing scales in this regard did not comprehend the factors required for marital adjustment and sustainability. The current study intended to develop and validate a new scale for marital readiness that could be used for both the genders and could establish a reliable probability for marital adjustment and sustainability. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were conducted. The study involved 220 unmarried participants including 73 men and 147 women. The newly developed scale was accepted as a reliable and valid tool to be used further for the measurement of marital readiness.
