Summary

This quote expresses outdated and sexist beliefs, suggesting that education is unnecessary for a woman who plans to get married. It implies that a woman's intellectual growth automatically comes through fulfilling traditional gender roles and serving a spouse.

It neglects the individual's aspirations and strengths, reinforcing gender stereotypes and dismissing the potential for personal and professional development beyond marriage.
