The divorce rate in Qatar has increased. Since the women started getting jobs and supporting a family at the same time. Most men do not want their wives working. When the man and women are engaged some families do not let the man see her before marriage. This can cause the man to divorce the women. Its a problem if he does not get to know her or even see her.

Qatari women, on the other hand, have very limited socially acceptable prospects for their future that are exclusive of marriage. Education is the is the key. Since public education is gender-segregated, young women are encouraged to devote time for education and succeed academically. Qatar University, in this case, is safe haven for single women to spend their time, as well as for married women whose husbands forbid them from work.

After they are legally married , he feels threatened by her academic roles, while her goal to formal education may be unappealing to him. Modern-day Qatar opens more and more doors for women, where female political and business leaders have begun to fill the pages of newspapers and offices of public and private companies. The educated Qatari woman suddenly have prospects available to her, and traditional Qatari men are sometimes over welmed by this new reality. In the meantime, less binding courtship processes must be developed, which allow for testing the waters before diving into marriage. Even before that, perhaps education, intellectual growth, and scholarly achievement must be prized with as much value and respect as granted to financial success. This is a belief that will only find its roots in Qatari culture once its society realizes that education holds the key to success.
