The two-queue method puts both males and females on two distinct marriage queues in the event of a marriage. Then the individuals on the queues are matched according to the points/options. In the two-queue method, the achieved marriage rates are often at least slightly lower than the specified rates, because for the last persons the matchmaking method will be unable to find a partner with a high enough score. This is of course especially the case if there is a gender imbalance. We also implemented a third method that works without marriage rates (which are often not available for many populations). Instead, mothers are married immediately after receiving a childbirth to an unmarried male according to the point system.
