Data obtained in the National Longitudinal Survey are used to examine the probability of divorce and early remarriage among a sample of 464 young males (Ms) divorced during 1965-1978. Results of logistic regression reveal that Ms who are in a situation of relative social disadvantage are most likely to remarry soon after divorce. Indicators of relative social disadvantage are defined as physically deviating from the norm, growing up in a home where the respondent's mother was absent, and living outside a standard metropolitan area. Ms in a situation of relative social disadvantage, facing a limited pool of potential partners, calculate that the risk of remarrying soon after divorce is not too great a risk to take. 2 Tables, 21 References.
