A review of the existing literature indicates that most previous studies on reproductive morbidity in India have been performed on abortion or on reproductive health, few studies show association between abortion and reproductive mortality also there has been increasing concern over the repeated abortion and reproductive morbidity status of women in India. To our knowledge, no national level study has been conducted on the issue of repeated abortion and in depth analysis in terms of spontaneous abortion and induced abortion however the district level household survey conducted during 2012-13 has collected information on ever married women of age 15 to 49 years who have experienced abortion in the form of spontaneous or induced abortion also collected information on 11 symptoms related to reproductive tract infections, health problems and its correlates. Therefore using this database the present study aims to determine the level of repeated abortion and reproductive morbidity. Attempts also have been made to identify the socioeconomic and demographic factors affecting repeated abortion and reproductive morbidity. Last aim of the study is to investigate the effect of repeated abortion on reproductive morbidity.
