The proportion of women who have never been married in Kenya has risen over the past two decades, even as the number of women in marriages or unions has declined, according to the 2025–26 Kenya Mini Demographic and Health Survey (KMDHS).
The report shows that 32.9 per cent of women aged 15 to 49 have never been married, compared to 30 per cent in 2003.
