write a dialogue between a daughter and her mother on why woman's education is more important than marriage
Answers
Daughter: Mumma, what is the point of a girl studying if she will eventually get married?
Mother: I am not sure I understand your question. Marriage and education are two entirely different things.
Daughter: Yes, but girls do get married.
Mother: Usually they do, but that has nothing to do with education.
Daughter: I always thought that it isn't important to study if you will be getting married.
Mother: Well, education is compulsory. In our family, it is not a matter of choice. I won't ever ask you if you want to study or not, though you will have the choice to decide whether you want to marry or not.
Daughter: So, I cannot refuse to study?
Mother: No, you cannot. Actually, you will not, once you understand how important education is.
Daughter: Is it more important than marriage?
Mother: Undoubtedly!
Daughter: How is that?
Mother: Well, suppose a woman gets married and has children. How will she teach them good manners and good habits if she is uneducated? How will she help them in their studies? How will she decide what is good for the family and what is not?
Daughter: She can always ask others.
Mother: You mean that she should be dependent on others because she is not capable of understanding things herself?
Daughter: Yes, there is no harm in taking help from others.
Mother: All the time and for each little thing?
Daughter: That might get a little too much.
Mother: That is the power of education. It enables a person to think logically, come to rational conclusions, take informed decisions and make life better for everyone. Education makes a person independent. An independent woman can not only take care of the family but can also have a successful career.
Daughter: Now I understand. It is more important to be educated and independent than to get married.
Mother: Yes. So now tell me, do you think education is a matter of choice?
Daughter: No, Mumma. There should be no compromise when it comes to education. Everything else is secondary.
Mother: That's my girl. You are receptive and understand things quickly.
Daughter: That is because I go to school.
Mother: True! Education is already making you smart!
