Some people believe that if a girl studies and goes to school, who will do household work or if a girl studies more, her demand will increase in the matter of life partner selection and often some men are like and prefer those girls who are less educated than themselves because when a wife is more educated than a husband he feels jealousy and has an inferiority complex sometimes.

Education gives women the awareness that they can raise their voice for their rights and against discrimination. An educated mother can make their nation healthy.
