Form a bipartite graph with one vertex for each row and one for each column, putting an edge exactly where . For a set of row vertices, let be its neighbouring column vertices. Since is a doubly stochastic matrix,
The Hall marriage theorem therefore supplies a perfect matching. Its incidence entries define a permutation matrix supported on the positive entries of , hence on the ones of . Entrywise , so
