The present paper is an attempt to understand maternal health-related knowledge among rural women. This paper is an outcome of empirical research conducted in Sandur Taluk, Ballari District, Karnataka. Maternal health knowledge is significant for every woman to have a healthier maternal life. The present study was conducted in rural areas with 600 respondents; the study has found that nearly half of the respondents' age is between 21 and 25, and nearly one-fifth of the respondents' age is 18 years. Notably, more than three-fifths of the respondents became pregnant for the first time before the age of 18. The amount of associated knowledge regarding birth control and harmful indications, as well as maternal health, demonstrated that rural women have a lack of information.
