Sir: We all know how important education is for a woman; still people in Pakistan prefer marriage over education for them. They actually fail to realize that education is as important as marriage. Parents usually believe that a girl’s primary responsibility is to become a good wife. Housekeeping, cooking and self-grooming are considered the only important qualities of a good wife. The truth is that other elements such as raring children and maintaining good relations with the in-laws are equally important. These qualities are derived from education. An educated woman also recognizes the importance of healthcare and takes special care of her children. It is high time for us to realize the importance of education for our daughters because they may have to provide for themselves as life is always unpredictable.
