Education has less preference in our society and culture (if we have any). Even look at annual budget of the govt. More money is spent on roads and bridges than education and health. Vast majority of the girls’ parents look at the earnings of their potential ‘damaad’ than his qualifications.

Girls are more educated because everyone knows (including them) that they will sit home after marriage, so to spend time until their marriage, allowing them to go to college, university is a good practice. For boys to get into business, job or any other venture, a minimum level of education is required and after that ‘right connections’ are needed not a university degree. At least this is the case in Pakistan.

Totally foreign concept to people I know.
