What is a Marla?

What is a Marla?

A Marla is a unit of land; it is used in Indian Subcontinent for measuring land area. Traditionally, people measure land in Marla. Property developers/ colony developers sell small houses in 3.5 Marla, 5 Marla, 7.5 Marla and 10 Marla units.

A Marla is equal to 272 Square feet. However, this is traditional measure used in British India. Currently in Pakistan, two different measure are use:

(i) 1 Marla = 270 Square feet; and

(ii) I Marla = 250 Square feet.

If one Marla is 270 square feet, typical dimensions of a five Marla and ten Marla house are 27X100 and 27X50 Square feet. It means a typical ten Marla house has a length of 100 square feet and width of 27 square feet. Similarly, a five Marla house has a length of 50 feet and width of 27 feet

If one Marla is 250 square feet, typical dimensions of a five Marla and ten Marla house are 25X100 and 25X50 Square feet. It means a typical ten Marla house has a length of 100 feet and width of 25 feet. Similarly, a five Marla house has a length of 50 feet and width of 25 feet.
