The results also showed that social factors such as family income, parental care and the importance of friendship and cultural variables such as religious beliefs have been effective on how to choose husbands. The results showed that the variables of education, place of residence, parental care, social class, religious beliefs, physical and metaphysical values have a significant effect on female mate selection criteria but four other variables including age, education, parents income and the importance of friends don’t have a significant impact on women marriage standards.
