Marriage
partner selection, though something very close to us, has not been as simple
and straight forward as the name denotes. Rather, it involves a lot of
specialty and competence to accomplish. In fact, it has been a very serious and
contentious subject of debate. Various factors determine the selection of
marriage partners, which vary from a society to another. This study is set to
investigate into the attitude of undergraduate male students towards selection
of female graduate and or undergraduate students as marriage partners, with the
view of ascertaining if level of females’ education in Northern Nigeria (and
especially within the Hausa-folk) is a determining variable for a female to be
chosen in marriage.
