"assalamu alikum ,my question is regarding women's education ,im 21 yrs old and im associated with tabligh, my mum is now looking a girl for me and when i put in masura with tabligh elders regarding marriage with that girl,they rejected because that girl is educated and also when i talk with tablighi guys they say dont go for educated girls they will be arrogant not obey their husband,so look for uneducated girl and education of girl not necessary in that meaning ,but mind is not accepting it ,since im in abroad now in singapore ,if i got married i need my wife to be educated and also allow her to work to run the family and a ulama said me that if u committed zina ,ur wife would also commit zina ,and he quoted an ayath in quran that pure woman is for pure man(similar meaning i guess from surah noor),so pls tell me woman should be educated wordly and if i didnt commit zina ,she too will not commit right ,pls answer my question at earliest as i have to say my parents (note:in my family womans are educated for 3 generations and rich so they wont allow me to get married to uneducated girl from poor family)pls clarify the status of woman education in islam |

The brothers have suggested this with their sincerity and their concern that an educated woman will be demanding and less obedient to you. However, to me it is not a sound advice. This is over generalisation of few examples they might have come across. There are many educated sisters who are doing very well in their married life.
Not just that it is permissible but rather highly recommended for you to marry someone who is educated and can be of some help especially when you are abroad without any family support. Someone who would be able to teach your children insha Allaah will be more suitable.
It will be extremely improper and wrong to marry someone who is not of same intellectual level as it ruins the family life. The couple don?t find solace in each other, which is one of the main purposes of marriage. And they end up divorcing after having children, who then face harsh realities of being brought up with single or step parents.
May Allaah guide and bless us all, aameen
