The matchmaker further stated that educated women do not listen to anyone and cannot adhere to others' expectations. "People are divorcing because there is no patience, no adjustment, egoism, ladkiya itana padh likh lete hai toh they say why should I listen to anybody? (Highly educated girls don’t listen to anybody)," she remarked.
