Re: Desi larkian need to...
Degas and Ibn Khatab make valid points.
Whether a girl is educated or not, no man has the right to treat her disrespectfully. And who says education means getting a formal University degree. She can continue to educate herself by reading books, newspapers, developing her interests and meeting the right people after marriage. If she doesn't do this, she is losing out.
It should not be a requirement for a desi Muslim girl to have a degree before she's married. As some people have pointed out, the person can still be highly immature and not ready to deal with the demands of marriage. I've heard that the recent trend in North America is that guys and girls get married young and continue with their education afterwards. It all depends on ones mindset. Those men who treat their wives disrespectfully should be treated for low-self esteem and read "How to be a Muslim Husband 101".
