The Adverse Effects of Education on Women
It will thus be observed that education is greatly responsible for bringing about many changes in the attitude of women. She is now demanding more and more rights. But it need to be remembered that education has created its own problems. It is due to education that it is becoming difficult to find suitable and comparable matches at the appropriate time or educated girls.
Education has also created problems for the poor parents who cannot pay for the educated boys and thus face serious problems after managing to give higher education to their daughters, educated woman are more tempted to ask for divorce.
Traditional concept of marriage is changing only due to education. Then, as already pointed out, education is replacing joint family with single family system, which is not suited to rural conditions, though India still lives in villages.
But the only consolation is that problems created by education are of a passing nature. A day is not far off when these will be finally solved and awakening created by education will take women a step further in demanding their rightful place in our society, both in urban and rural area.
