GRAS, Self-Esteem Scale, and the Demographic Questionnaire were used to collect data. Correlation, regression, and ANOVA analyses were performed to analyze the data. The correlation analysis performed to understand the relationship between GRA and self-esteem has revealed a positive and weak relationship between the sub-dimensions of GRA and income and education status; while a weak negative relationship has found between the sub-dimensions of GRA and years of marriage and the number of children. The hierarchical regression analysis carried out to understand the predictive power of GRAS sub-dimensions and demographic characteristics on self-esteem showed that two dimensions of GRAS, namely TGR and egalitarian gender roles, significantly and moderately predicted self-esteem of married women in marriage, while the variables of years of marriage, number of children, education status and income were ound to predict self-esteem significantly at a low level.
