The study was undertaken to explore the role of rural women in decision making in various family affairs. Four villages of Tehsil Samundri (Dist. Faisalabad), randomly selected, constituted the universe of this study. One married female from each of the twenty nine households randomly selected from each of the four villages was personally interviewed, using a pretested interviewing schedule. In addition to some personal informationj about the respondents, 17 family affairs were arbitrarily listed in the questionnaire to collect data concerning the extent of involvement of rural women in decision making process. The involvement of rural women in decision making was determined on the basis of degree of consultation of husbands with their spouses in respect of various family affairs. On average, the consultation (under 'Often' consulted category) between the respondents and their spouses, to take decision in various family matters was approximately 44%. Under the category of 'Sometimes' consultation between the respondents and their spouses, the range varied from about 26 to 40%, the average being 33%. Overall average for the 'Never' consulted category of respondents was nearly 23%. A large majority (68.69%) of the respondents yet believed in dominant role of husbands in making important decisions in family affairs. Except a negligible number, the respondents agreed that they were satisfied with their position as housewives. Independent variables such as education, caste, income, family type and age of the respondents had no significant association with the decision making process in family affair
