AB  - This paper measures the additional value of sanitation within the marriage 
      arrangement. We use data from the Indian human development household survey 
      (IHDS) to model the marital decisions of men and women in rural India and to 
      estimate the marital surplus (the gains from being married). We use the model to 
      demonstrate that the government's Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) increased 
      marital surplus and changed marriage market outcomes for men and women. 
      Decomposition reveals (i) that sanitation makes it more attractive to be in a 
      marriage for both gender, and (ii) that TSC exposure led to a decrease in the 
      wife's surplus share, implying a redistribution of gains within the marriage.
