There was a same discussion weeks ago here.I think working after marriage for girls is a personal choice.Children will be affected in many cases if both parents go for work.Lack of quality time,love 'n' affection ,will all be lacking for children of working mothers.In some cases children of working mothers will be more independent.However I feel the cons exceed pros as being a child of a working mother.
Here is an article on BBC BLOG which says:
How well do women, careers and marriage mix?
Are men who marry women who don't have a career happier?
Writing for the online business magazine Forbes.com, the managing editor Michael Noer offers men some controversial advice on marriage. He says men shouldn't marry career women because they run a higher risk of having a rocky marriage.
He cites a number of recent social studies that have found that professional women are more likely to get divorced, more likely to cheat and less likely to have children. And if they do have kids, they are more likely to be unhappy.

Also I heard from a friend who is in early 50's"There is no difference if only one works or if both husband and wife works.Not even more money at hand."

Yes, they should. We are now living in a world of nuclear families, and seeing that you are from India, where it is slowly becomeing acceptable that the female can also be a contributor to the income, I think it would be a great idea if a girl can work, but since the girl is also supposed to look after the home, bear children, and manage things as a householder in India, it is important that you manage to balance your career and homemaker duties if you want to live a peaceful and happy lfe. I know that this is unfair, but, then this is the culture that we Indians have been brought up with, fortunately, it's changing slowly.
All the best!
