It has been estimated that 12 per cent of all marriages are involuntarily sterile.23In 25 per cent of these the husband is at least partly to blame,10and he is said to be solely at fault in 10 to 15 per cent.22In a study of 200 cases of sterile marriage, Meaker23found the male to be at fault alone in 8 per cent, the female alone in 14 per cent, and both at fault in 78 per cent.
