Females make up the majority of the sample at 66.7%, while males account for 33.3%. The predominant religion among participants is Islam (90.2%), followed by Hinduism (9.4%), with very few identifying as Christian or Buddhist (0.2% each). Geographically, most participants hail from the Sylhet division (99.1%), with only a few from Mymensingh, Barisal, and Rajshahi. All 561 participants reported being unmarried.
