We’re not talking about paychecks, we’re talking about education. If you want to talk about money, it doesn’t make sense to me that a girl’s parents put in SO MUCH money to pay for that girl’s education and then she’s told by her in-laws to sit at home. Or that she chooses to sit at home, because all that education meant to her was just another thing to add to her rishta resume.
If you want to just sit at home and do nothing, by all means, do so. But why put your parents through all that pressure of paying for your education (something none of us will understand until our kids come walking in the door with college acceptances to places that cost 40,000 per year for tuition alone and naturally, they barely got scholarships + 100-200,000 dollars worth of post-graduate education)?
Just sit at home and wait for your rishta then. Especially when these girls hog up much required degrees like MD’s, etc that are needed out there.
Furthermore, much of the post-grad education out there is actually subsidized by state/government loans/grants, so you can argue that these girls just waste public money by their antics.
