Face-to-face interview (1:1) was conducted with a self-made inventory having 28 items covering seven dimensions of education for data collection purpose. Descriptive as well as inferential statistics like ANOVA, ‘t’-test by applying  Excel and SPSS-16.0 software were used for data analysis. A significant difference between the attitude of the literate married female and that of the illiterate married female samples of Asur community people was found at 0.01 level.
