Re: 30 year old Pakistani women
Education isn’t going to add value for everyone. At the time my rishta was being finalized, I was asked if I preferred someone with my wife’s background or a doctor/engineer for a wife. I said it made no difference because I didn’t expect her to work anyway.
Experience networking etc., sure but I for one would prefer that my wife would have actually been there personally for my kids, to give them time, in person.
Professional/educational contacts, sure it’s a plus, but not worth the trade-off IMO. Also, they should be able to earn those things on their own merits. Also, if I married her at age 30, would those contacts still be around or relevant by the time my kids could potentially benefit from them?
Personal maturity–well I wouldn’t generalize anything there. I know that my wife was more mature at 20 than many women I’ve known of who are above 30.
That’s a very good point.
