dc.description.abstractThis study investigates the desired traits perceived by the girls for selecting their spouses and explains the factors affecting their spouse selection criteria. In addition to this, it also compares the perceptions of the girls and their parents about the spouse selection criteria (as told by the girls). The research is based upon 6 in-depth qualitative interviews using purposive sampling technique. According to the nature of the research design, a semi structured questionnaire constructed from previous literature was used. The interviews are analyzed by using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The themes and sub themes extracted during the analysis are discussed further in the light of literature review. The results highlight the importance of mate selection in Pakistan. It also brings out the difference between the perceptions and choices of young girls and their parents for their future spouses. The girls view physical appearance, nature or personality, education and family background to be the preferable criteria for selecting a spouse, while the parents consider religiosity, socioeconomic status and family background to be more important in spouse selection criteria. In Pakistani culture, most of the girls do not tell their parents about what kind of life partner they want to be married. But, they are willing to agree to what their parents will select for them because of their parents' experience and trust.en_US
