Abstract

Epilepsy is considered as a stigma in our society. This becomes more prominent among those who are in marriageable age. In this paper 21 PWE who attended an outpatient epilepsy clinic at a secondary-level hospital in Northwest India between 01.01.2015 and 31.03.2015 formed the case material for this study. Four cases were deeply interrogated and it was found that all of them denied the revealing of epilepsy to their prospect marriage partners. Two of them also denied of revealing them about taking ADE’S. It was found that PWE’s face many social and psychological problems while marriage negotiations and even after marriage.
