Abstract
Believe in superstitions is still a common phenomenon in the Pakistani society. The paper investigates the determinants of
superstitions (fortune telling, magic, superstitions related to children, marital issues and common superstitious practices) against
religiosity.400 females were selected, 200 from city Sialkot and Sheikhupura & 200 from rural locale of Sialkot and Sheikhupura.
The data was then analyzed through t-test and Analyses of Variance (ANOVA). Findings indicate that there is strong relationship
between socio-demographics and types of superstitious beliefs. Further, significant differences were found between levels of
religiosity and superstitious beliefs of women residing in Punjab.
