Career-minded girls can be good wives, mothers: Survey

New Delhi: If you are a boy and searching for a perfect life partner, we might have some important news for you.

A study says, career-minded girls have proved themselves to be goo wives and mothers too.

A social media study ‘Career Oriented Girl Problems,’ conducted by the online matchmaking brand BharatMatrimony, attempted to understand some of the major problems career-oriented women face when it comes to finding a life partner.

The survey witnessed 1100 responses. BharatMatrimony posed six questions to understand the challenges faced by women who wish to pursue a career seriously post their marriage.

According to the survey, women believe that being career-minded does not necessarily mean lack of time or attention to family and that working women can make good wives and moms too.

Here are some key insights from the survey:

1. Finding a life partner who will understand and support her career decisions is one of the biggest challenges a woman faces.

2. Support from in-laws and being able to balance her professional and personal lives is at times a challenge.

iii. Working women feel they can manage the home and kids better due to their exposure.
