Can You Marry An Illiterate Person?

well i don't mind if my wife is an illiterate, if she can't read or write anything. What if she cant read or write,she does not have feelings or what,she doesn't have the right to love or what, a person's personality is judged by their manners and character,who said that an illiterate person doesn't have those characteristics..if she has good qualities i will definitely marry her..

well... i don't know when i marry someone, i hope that i can marry that someone is smarter and more genius than me. i think it is an important things

I feel two illiterate persons getting married will be a good option. One is literate and other illiterate will not have a good understanding at all. So it is better understanding to marry two illiterate persons. There will be lot of misunderstanding between an illiterate and literate person.

I have never been seen as a "carer" and I think to marry someone that cannot read and write, would have to be a patient person. Things that we take for granted like being able to read how to cook a microwave meal would not be possible for an illiterate person. I would not have the patience.

I could not marry an illiterate person. I don't even know anyone like that. If I did, there would be no possibility of love developing , because I'd be ashamed. Since education of all children has been compulsory in this country for many years, not to be able to read and write would mean that there was some defect in that person.

This would be difficult for me and I believe that it would not come true. I will not marry an Illiterate person. I am already married

I have never believed the "love is blind" idea. I could never love someone who was illiterate, or uneducated, or just plain stupid. I have extremely high expectations and needs for a suitable partner and I have no patience for less.

in my country it's very unusual for someone to be truly illiterate. but if they were, and I loved them, then I'd still marry them. why would that be an abomination? if I loved someone who was illiterate I'd help them learn.

I am a Graduate in computer studies and i got married with an illiterate girl. It was not a love marriage but an arranged family marriage. Now i love her but this educational gap creates many times problems for me. Life is not easy when you have differences between you and your partner in any means.

I guess in the very first place I wouldn't get attracted to someone who is illiterate, so much more to develop love between us. So marry someone who is illiterate is definitely out of the question for me. I am not the type who would look for someone who is so attractive physically but I get to be turned on with someone who is intelligent, a good speaker and someone who can express himself very well. And if he is illiterate then definitely it would be difficult for him to do express himself. I am not belittling them but as you said here is to marry. So before you get married you need to love the person and before you can love the person there is attraction at the beginning. :) I think with the word abomination in our societies was quite a strong word to describe illiterate people. They are not bad, they just lack education and we can even help them to become educated.

We seldom will marry someone for how educated they are. We marry the one we love. If they happen to be illiterate, then that is the person we would marry. If this did happen to me, I would probably do what I could to solve my partner's literacy issues.

Great articles, education must be standard in our society rather than color, cast. thankx

for now i can't say no..

I don't see my self married to an illiterate, but if there is an enormous love developed between us (and I mean huge!)and I can see that he is willing to change, do better, rose up to the challenge then I MIGHT think about it...

I dont think so!! sorry, But if I will endure all the things that will happen to him.. I might eventually hate him. He can be talked to anything and everything and he will believe it. He might sell something that should not be sold and sign things that should not be signed. So, Sorry. I wont.

I don't think I would fall in love with illiterate person, however, if I would, before I married with him, I will make sure he's already illiterate person. Illiterate or not could be caused by anything but the quality of the person will still be seen.

Of course not! it will just give me too stress. i dont know how to bulid a relationship to an illiterate person. I think it is so hard to marry that people.

If you truly love a person ,illiteracy is not a question. You should however be ready to take the risk of what will happen if you marry one. If you worry about the future, why don't think of ways of how you can improve him/her? Learning is an ongoing process.You can teach him the basic and then can go to school afterwards. Success is not based merely on intelligence. There are people who are illiterate at first and who strive hard and have been successful. We should not look down on persons who don't know how to read and write just because we are blessed with good education and moral support from our family. Do you think they'd like to be in their position? They just need motivation and support and it would be best if that would come from someone they love. Love is patient, love is kind. If you don't have these qualities, then it's not love at all.

I probably could not do it. It may or may not seem shallow to some people. But one thing I look for in a person is inteligence.

I do think there is possibility to marry such person depending on the society from which a person came. Like if a person came from an ethnic group which makes him/her somehow illiterate, there is a possibility for another person to fall in love and marry such ethnic person. Love knows no boundaries right?
