How many matrimonial criteria do people typically consider at the same time?

Direct answer
No national Pakistani survey provides a trustworthy average number of criteria used in matrimonial search. A count also depends on design: age, city and education may be separate filters, while character or family fit may be discussed offline and never recorded. Weddme’s education study found a median of two accepted education categories among profiles with that preference, but that is breadth within one field, not a total criteria count. A credible answer requires a defined platform cohort and every criterion measured on the same date.
