Jane got married early, therefore she is uneducated." To educate women, we shouldn't EDUCATE them - no, we should make them forget about having a family! How ridiculous! Of course, if we are flooded with secular education and it's pretty much the only thing that's available in most cases, NO WONDER women look down upon marriage. ...
