Married Life Meets College Life: A Comparative Study

Education is the carrier of human life, just like any flower blooms after getting sunlight and a new energy towards life. After receiving the light of education, human life also blooms like a flower and fame in the form of its image spreads in all four directions. Through education, desirable changes can be brought about in the innate powers of man, knowledge, skill, behaviour, personality and behaviour of human beings. Through this, civilised, cultured and capable citizens can be created. Education for married and unmarried women at the graduate level plays an important role as a basis for developing women towards adult life by ending their primary and secondary. Education helps make other officers capable; at the same time, uneducated women feel difficulty in telling many problems to men, if they are educated, they solve those problems themselves. Women's education is helpful in the growth of national, international, social, family and domestic productivity. Apart from this, it also plays an indelible role in the creation of a well-organised and healthy society. To achieve the objectives of this research paper, the researchers used qualitative and quantitative data and interpreted the data collected from married women studying in the Art, Science and Commerce Stream using the mean test and t-test. After analysis of the data, it was concluded that no significant difference was found between the family problems of married women of the Art and Science Stream, but a significant difference was found between the family problems of married women of the Commerce and Science and Commerce stream. A detailed explanation of the possible reasons for which is presented in this research paper.
