Parents of girl children, particularly those with conservative background, have this dichotomy within. They see successful women, wish their daughters similar success and hence educate them.
When a parent looks at a 10 year old daughter, he/she sees a great future for the child. But when the same daughter is 22, the parent feels that she must get married. One wants the best for our children and so feel we must not leave out anything.
Societal changes take a few generations and those in the in between generations, pay the price.
