This study examines the effect of parental educational hypogamy, which refers to a situation where the mother has higher educational attainment than the father, on child health outcomes in India using data from the National Family Health Survey-5 (2019-21). We employed recursive bivariate probit and nonparametric partial identification approach to estimate the relationship between parental educational hypogamy and three measures of child health, namely stunting, wasting, and underweight. We find that hypogamous parents have a lower probability of a child being both stunted and underweight. Our results suggest that parental educational hypogamy plays a protective role in improving early childhood health and nutrition outcomes. The changing patterns of partner selection, particularly in terms of educational hypogamy, may have implications for disparities in child health outcomes.We implement the user-written tebounds stata command by McCarthy et al.
