The main purpose of this paper is determining the socio-economic differentials of married women and health seeking behavior, and to assess whether there are socio-economic differences in the incidences of health behavior. There is little logical information about how women livings are affected when an earning hand in a family suffers from a serious health problem, or about how family, community or other social networks help that family to manage with the hard times. What are the patterns of health care seeking of women in a specific society. The study was conducted Tehsil Gujrat Village Sabour. Researcher was used Simple random sampling. The traditional beliefs tend to be linked with independences of the illness itself and a variety of indirect, economic and social factors. Nearest and most available health provider in a rural closeness would be a non-formal doctor, who would be referred mainly because of the low cost incurred. In depth interviews were conducted as a tool for data collection. In depth interviewing is a qualitative research technique. A potential policy option was granting fee exemptions to the poor which needs to be worked out properly and implemented or completely abolishing user fees for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases health centers.
