There was a time when very few women got proper education. But now girls are receiving higher education. Some people insist on having educated girl as their wives. Others are strongly against this. It is considered in brief advantages and disadvantages of having an educated wife. We can easily recognize, by her appearance, a girl who has received western education. She is fashion loving. The greater part of her time is wasted in dressing her hair. She is too fond of using cosmetics. She puts on costly dresses of the latest fashion. But there are many advantages also of having an educated wife. Being educated, she can manage her home more efficiently. She can look after the work of the servants and maintain accounts. She keeps her kitchen in hygienic condition. An-educated girl understands her duties well. She can teach many things to her children. Not only this, an educated wife can also help her husband in his office work. She can work as a typist, by checking accounts, preparing draft, and by her personal suggestions. An educated girl is not always obedient and faithful. She has her own friends. She does not like to observe family traditions and customs. She goes to her club. She wants to dominate her husband. She likes to live in her own independent way. An educated wife can be a great asset to her husband and her family, if she is good-natured and respects the traditions of the family and co-operates to run it smoothly.
