Abstract: This research aimed at exploring the correlation between rural divorce rates and marriage costs for men and to reveal the influence of education level on this relationship. By collecting data from 36 rural samples, the data were processed and analyzed by descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis, differential analysis, regression analysis and sensitivity analysis. The results showed a significant negative correlation between rural divorce rates and male marriage costs, where areas with higher male marriage costs tend to be accompanied by lower rural divorce rates. Moreover, education level also has a significant impact on rural divorce rates, which are lower among higher educated individuals. The results of the regression analysis further verified the predicted effect of the male marriage cost on the rural divorce rate. The findings of this research are important for understanding and addressing rural marriage problems and provide an empirical basis for the development of relevant policies.
