I have a problem. A relative of mine is a Bsc holder and she is in love with a boy who has done only sc. Her parents are opposing to this marriage. What is your opinion?

I strongly oppose such marriages. A similar case was here in my family. My elder sis (done B. Tech) was in love with a boy who was not even a graduate!! She didn't marry that boy. And I suggest you should also tell her not to plunge herself into it. There are 2 reasons for my opinion. Firstly, they won't be earning a living. As, being B Sc. doesn't fetch you a job these days. Secondly, there will always be a sort of complex between the two. This is the degraded mentality of such people that they desire a higher position than their female partner!

You're right there will always be conflict and complexity because of grade and different earnings. This will happen after marriage. One should beware of these circumstances beforehand.

Yes, i will marry a person who is less educated if i love him. If she truely loves him than its ok . Education should not be the factor in true love .

That is why we call love is blind and lovers also. Parents would expect their child to have a bright future. Love defeat all purpose.

To me as long as you share the same values and morals then things like education and wealth have very little importance. Just because someone isn't educated in the same way as their prospective partner doesn't mean that they won't become educated in the future or that they aren't a hard worker or have goals that they wish to achieve. As long as they truly love each other and want the same things out of life and are willing to work together to get them that's really all that matters.

And what will be the status of our future life...I can visualize that at first it will be okay but as the time passes by there will be infinite problems coming in and...and... Ehem well that's what I think now...maybe my opinion will change when it really comes hehehe ^^

This situation is just similar to mine. My parents oppose me too because of my choice of boyfriend. I have a degree and my boyfriend don't. But I don't really care, because I understand that my mum worry for me and do not have the trust that my boyfriend can support my life financially. Also, my mum cares about educational status. Nevertheless, I still continue my relationship but I don't show it to my mum, until the day come, me and my boyfriend will show her that even without education, one can still achieve success. That will hard work.

hi velentina acooring to me love can be compared to education itself... we r noy loving looking his or her education..if so oden days women were not educated... they know only to look after and love their family.. so there was nithing nice divorse and al.. but noe ppl start loving looking education and wealth.. so that love wont last long and end up with crashes..ask that girl parent "is they sure boy with good education love and look after their girl happily..and one of the negative part of not boing educated is to live since will not get good jobs..but every ine in this world is born talented in something.. so can acheive using that talent..keep rocking in life..

I think I don't agree with the opinion that educated person is also for educated person. I have seen and have been with educated person but acts like uneducated person. I think being an uneducated person is not a basis in love. Does it mean to say that when you are uneducated you don't deserve love? I have met uneducated people who are more successful than educated people. I think it should not be a hindrance. We should learn how to respect them. We do not know the reason behind why they become uneducated.

Yes it is imporant to be educated! But at the same time that person may be street smart versus book smart... Not everything that we learn is worthy of a diploma.. But it is things that we need in the future.. I would not consider eduation to be a huge deciding factor in a marriage... There are some people that are really smart but can not read a simple book.. It is hard for them to read... So they just learn with hands on stuff, or self taught through trial and error.. Doesnt make that person less smart because they dont have that pretty piece of paper hanging on their wall collecting dust..
