Abstract

This research is an exploration of the influence of women’s education on marital relationship. The pivotal focus is the influence educated women have on their relationship with their husband in particular; their behaviour, attitude and what they themselves expect from them. The way a woman’s education affects her marital relationship and overall marital stability is highlighted. The sample was selected through the purposive sampling technique from a frame of 100 households in a sector in Islamabad. Data was collected through in-depth interviews from 15 respondents. Thematic analysis techniques were used during and after data collection. As for the findings, the research suggests a positive influence of a woman’s education on her marriage. It not only improves marital quality, but also aids in strengthening the marital bond. Themes like mutual understanding, love, care, trust and communication have been explored and they quite profoundly propose an interpretation of the substantial need of women education.
