Statistics displayed in the image come from the report's frozen aggregate cohort and are not national estimates for Pakistan. ABOUT THE REPORT This report analyzes saved partner-education search preferences on Weddme. It uses an anonymized production snapshot captured on 29 August 2026. The strict eligible platform cohort contained 5,951 active client profiles after quality filters and obvious test-record exclusion. The final analytical cohort contained 3,204 eligible profiles with valid own education and at least one non-empty valid saved partner-education preference. The results describe an eligible Weddme platform cohort. They are not national estimates for Pakistan and do not measure actual marriages, spouse education, attraction, compatibility, family decisions, or matrimonial success. FIVE HEADLINE FINDINGS 1. MOST PROFILES WITH SAVED EDUCATION PREFERENCES INCLUDED THEIR OWN EDUCATION LEVEL Within the 3,204-profile analytical cohort, 2,470 profiles, or 77.09%, included the profile holder's own education category in the acceptable partner-education set. 2. EDUCATION PREFERENCES WERE OFTEN SETS, NOT SINGLE REQUIREMENTS The median saved partner-education preference contained 2 education categories. 3. A MEANINGFUL BROAD-SEARCH SEGMENT EXISTED 872 profiles, or 27.22% of the preference-bearing cohort, selected 4 or more education categories. 4. BACHELOR'S DEGREE WAS THE MOST FREQUENTLY INCLUDED CATEGORY Bachelor's Degree was included by 2,080 profiles, or 64.92% of the preference-bearing cohort. This means included in the saved acceptable set, not the most preferred or highest-ranked qualification. 5. MEN'S AND WOMEN'S PROFILES DIFFERED LITTLE ON OWN-EDUCATION INCLUSION Own-education inclusion was 77.41% among men's profiles and 75.65% among women's profiles. The gender effect size for own-education inclusion was negligible. METHODOLOGY AT A GLANCE - Main analytical cohort: 3,204 eligible Weddme profiles. - Snapshot: 29 August 2026 at 13:00:35 Pakistan Standard Time. - Eligibility required an active client user and active profile; neither could be deleted; the user had to be valid, unflagged, and in a clean risk state. - The report analyzes saved partner-education search preferences under user_profile_preferences.category = education. - The education preference is multi-select; selected-category percentages sum above 100%. - Professional and religious education categories are not ranked inside the formal academic hierarchy. - Public subgroup threshold: minimum denominator of 50; profession findings are appendix-level. - No names, identifiers, contact details, photographs, biographies, messages, payments, or row-level records are included. LANGUAGE FOR COVERAGE Use: "within the analyzed Weddme cohort," "eligible Weddme profiles with saved education preferences," "saved partner-education search criteria," and "included in the saved acceptable set." Avoid: "Pakistanis prefer," "most preferred qualification," "actual spouse education," "marriage outcome," "compatibility," or describing the report as a national survey.
