Delhi: Searching for a partner in Delhi not only involves looking for an educated mate but also matching his/ hers family education.
Almost 75 per cent of women from Delhi feel it is equally important for their partner's family to be well-educated. However, men were not found to be as savvy about their prospective bride's family bio-data.
The figures were revealed by a week-long survey conducted by a leading online matchmaking website.
The survey was conducted amongst 8,895 Shaadi.com members across the nation, out of which 2,440 were from Delhi.
"The demand of having an educated family is exceptionally high among women. For women, it's 75 per cent and for men, it's 25 per cent. Reason being-- they would have to spend the rest of their lives with their husband's family and so they want to ensure that they are going to be in good hands," said Gourav Rakshit, business head of Shaadi.com.
65 per cent of Delhiites feel that similar educational backgrounds of their partner would influence their marriage decision. "Women from Delhi are more concerned about their partner's educational background than men. About 75 per cent of the women wanted their partners to at least be post-graduates," Rakshit said.
The matrimonial portal conducted the study to understand the mindsets and partner preferences of prospective brides and grooms with regard to education and literacy.
