Abstract

This paper puts forward the argument that the living arrangement of a disabled individual, or her/his marital status in particular, can be taken as a proxy for some very important functionings that constitute her/his well-being, viz. emotions (being able to have attachments to others, able to love etc) and bodily integrity that includes ‘opportunity for sexual satisfaction’ among others. The main source of data is NSS 58th Round (2002), which is supplemented by such other sources as Census 2001. [IDS Occasional paper 41].
