Abstract
We examined how traditional gender role beliefs, religiosity, and social pressure influence willingness to marry an infertile partner. 410 (74 Males) emerging adults participated. Results showed that traditional gender beliefs significantly reduced willingness among women, whereas in-law pressure predicted willingness among men, highlighting relational and cultural influences on infertility decision-making.
