For males, loss of masculinity or libido (66.6%), belief of not able to do hard work after surgery (61.3%) and fear of not having enough strength for surgery (33.3%) were the major barriers for acceptance. In case of Muslim couples (21.2%) religious reason is one of the important causes for non-acceptance. The factor of having at least on male child was a major deciding factor for acceptance of any method of permanent sterilization.
