Will India's careerwomen like to marry down?

A new study in Britain says men with low income are likely to be preferred by many present-day women following their changing aspirations in life. We do a reality check in India.

Kratika Sengar- TV actor Although I support the findings of survey, I will prefer a financially stronger life partner. For a woman like me who works for 12 hours a day, I want someone who can give me emotional support. If tomorrow I want to quit my profession, I will look for financial support from my partner. Here, I want to add that with more and more women becoming financially independent, the divorce rates are going up because women don't want to adjust or stay trapped in an uncomfortable marriage.

Well said by Kratika!👏 I really love her answer a lot.
Althought I obviously support women who have careers, Kratika is correct in saying that divorce rates have gone up because the adjustment level of women has gone down with them having careers. Men are able to work and uphold a family life at the same time, but some women cannot do that. I am not bashing all women here, as there are many who work and also attend to their duty towards family, but I know some women in my life who are so career-oriented that their family no longer holds first importance in their life, and I don't feel this is right. Career is only a career after all, and we make money to support our family.

Wow Kratika.fab reply...!
I absolutely agree with what she said!
I for one am a person who feels that career can't come ahead of family...its true many modern women think not making any adjustments is feminism...sorry, thats not true.
But, of course, adjustments should cm from both the man and the woman, and not only the woman...

What irritates me most is that some so called modern women of today hv almost converted the meaning of feminism to something similar to chauvism!
We need to understand that Neither r Men better NOR Women...they both are equal!

wow, well said ria dii !!👏 yup today many modern women disgust me, because they think feminism means women r greatest and shouldn't make any adjustments and all that should come from the men only !🤢 adjustments need come from both sides in marriage, because marriage is like a pillar where both sides must be equal or else it topples down !
i think women's mindsets is a big reason why divorce rate is so high nowadays, everyone wants careers and no one wants to take care of children or family.
luved kratika didi's answers a lot, she sounds like a very decent woman!👏

yess dii, ur right !!Clap people nowadays both men and women value careers more than family and relationships, everyone is wanting to achieve success that they r not paying attention to family anymoreOuch, it's why divorce rate is so high, and relationships between parents, children, brothers, sisters is not that strong anymore! so many people have become selfish and r looking for personal gains only! many r not wanting to marry until their 30s and because of that they r not finding marriage partners, i don't know what the world has come to anymore !!😔
