Under the assumption that a pulsar's magnetic field originates from the net polarized spin of its neutrons, and by using the post-Newtonian approximated torsion in the fith order in (v/c), the spin precession arising from torsion is coordinate dependent, which influences the magnetic field of the pulsar and makes the magnetic inclination close to the rotation axis. Assuming the possibility of the magnetic inclination density to be in random alignment at the initial time, the calculations presented here show that most pulsars should have smaller inclinations at the age of 106 - 107yr, and that the inclination decreases with increasing age of the pulsar. This is consistent with the astronomically observed distribution.
