What Are The Characteristics Of Women From Nepal?

Family is one of the most important and influential aspects of Nepalese life, which may directly influence how your Nepalese partner acts and behaves in her daily life. Indeed, the family structure in many Nepalese households is incredibly tight-knit. Moreover, it’s important to recognize here that many Nepalese families will (where possible) stay together with their primary family unit, even after the children have matured and married. As such, if your new Nepalese partner has close ties with her household, you may be able to expect that you’ll spend a lot of time with your new in-laws going forward. It’s also important to recognize that Nepalese families hold their elders in very high regard, considering a person’s elderly years to be a time for reflection and rest; as such, you can expect that she will likely spend a lot of time ensuring her elders are well looked after, sometimes even to her detriment if such has to be the case.

Fortunately, since family is highly regarded in Nepal, you can usually count on your new family-in-law to welcome you to their homes with open arms, so long as they consider you to be a good partner for their daughter. Often, families may even continue living together in a single, large house if work is available in the immediate community for younger family members. Unfortunately, though, the divorce rate in Nepal is climbing rapidly; in fact, the divorce rate has been doubling every five years, indicating a rapid change in Nepalese culture. It is also worth noting that women filed most of Nepal’s divorce cases. Since many Nepalese women experience physical abuse during their relationships, this may be one of the most likely causes of Nepal’s rapidly growing divorce rate. Therefore, when you decide to take the next step with your new Nepalese partner, always remain attentive to her needs.

Unfortunately, one further point of concern in Nepal is the prevalence of child marriage. Officially, the earliest a couple can get married in Nepal is 20. However, these rules are not strictly regulated, so many people marry at an earlier age. Over one in ten young women in Nepal are married by the age of fifteen, which jumps to around a third of young women being married by eighteen. Moreover, as is typical with cases of child marriage, many young Nepales women – around one in eight – had already given birth before their eighteenth birthday. As such, despite its official stance of not allowing marriage under twenty years of age, Nepal’s statistics for child marriage are among the highest in Asia. Nowadays, the current number of children per woman in Nepal is around 1.88; this represents a drastic decrease from about 5.80 children per woman during most of the 20th century. A marked change occurred around 1990, which resulted in many Nepalese women having fewer children than had been the case in previous generations. Still, Nepal has a higher fertility rate than many other countries, so if you’re planning on meeting Nepalese women, a mid-large family may be on the cards.

Education is one area of Nepalese culture lacking compared to many other countries. However, the Nepalese government attempts to address this issue in current Nepalese culture. However, the literacy rate is still growing slowly, with a change of around 1% yearly. As such, with the current Nepalese literacy rate of approximately 67.9%, there is still a very long way to go until the country is in a place with high literacy rates overall. However, it’s also important to recognize that this requires a significant cultural shift since many young women and girls in Nepal still lack education. Furthermore, a common trend in Nepal for young women is that, upon marriage, school attendance becomes significantly lower. School attendance for young girls who have been married young is roughly 10X lower than for unmarried girls, and many young married Nepalese women who still attend school experience abuse and assault from their peers.

The low literacy rates in Nepal may be due to the widespread prevalence of homeschooling in Nepal until the Nepalese democracy began in 1951. With this thought in mind, many families in Nepal have been held back by a lack of education. In fact, in the 1950s, the country’s literacy level was a minimal 5% (one in twenty adults approximately were literate). This figure shows the high level of illiteracy among the older generation today. Fortunately, the 1971 education plan has begun to change the state of education in the country. Based on the country’s overall income level, Nepal now meets approximately 83.5% of its education rights goals, based on the Human Rights Measurement Index. Critically, the level of attainment and educational provision is high for primary school but severely lacking for secondary school and beyond. So, while this represents a significant improvement, there’s still a long way to go. As such, if you want to start a family in Nepal, we strongly recommend that you support your child with their literacy as much as possible to try and ensure they have good opportunities upon leaving school.

Outside of school, employment statistics in Nepal vary significantly. Interestingly – unlike many other countries – the unemployment level is lower in rural communities than in urban communities. Approximately 90% of people in rural Nepalese communities hold a job; however, around one-quarter of people in urban regions are unemployed, indicating a significant challenge many Nepalese people face. Thus, if you are planning to move to Nepal to be with your new Nepalese partner, it’s worthwhile to consider the potential job opportunities that may be available to you. Furthermore, you should also consider the potential income you could make while working in Nepal. Unfortunately, Nepalese average incomes are relatively low compared to many other countries internationally. The average salary for a Nepalese worker is just over 950,000 NPR annually. While this might sound like a high amount, it only equates to around £6,500 per year.

Regarding Nepalese women, it’s crucial to recognize that religion often plays an integral role in their daily lives. Indeed, Nepalese women are often incredibly religious, as is common in the country, so you should always keep this in mind when meeting Nepalese women. Fortunately, Nepal embraces numerous different religions, which may mean religious freedom in Nepal is more significant than in some other countries in a similar geographical area. Most Nepal women follow Hinduism, accounting for approximately 81.3% of the Nepalese population. The next most common faith in Nepal is Buddhism, which holds around 9% of the people, and 4.4% of the population of Nepal follows Islam. Christianity is also present in Nepal, but this is far lower than in many other nations, with only around 1.4% of the Nepalese population of women and men following Christianity. Finally, approximately 3.9% of the population follow another type of faith or religion or are irreligious. Therefore, it’s significant to see how many Nepalese women and men hold their beliefs in high regard.

In many cases, the historical influence of Hinduism in Nepal is incredibly strong, and evidence of strong Hindu teachings has been found in Nepal for all recorded time. The most notable feature of Hinduism in Nepal is the annual pilgrimage. A little later than this, around a millennium ago, Islam was present in Nepal since the 11th century, when Muslim invaders brought the faith with them to the country. Finally, several other religions, such as Sikhism and Jainism, occurred during the 19th century. Around a similar time, religious freedom was announced officially in the country through a royal order from King Girban. He declared that anyone following traditional spiritual practices in Nepal should be free from harassment for their beliefs. This shows Nepal as a highly progressive country on the religious front; unfortunately, this does not necessarily translate to a high quality of life since the Nepalese HDI score is only classed as “Medium” for quality of life.

Interestingly, though Nepal operates with religious freedom and tolerance, the country is not necessarily inclusive of all religious activities. Most notably, although Nepalese laws and regulations embrace different religions, they do not allow conversions or evangelism due to strict anti-conversion rules. As such, if you are planning to visit Nepal to meet stunning Nepalese women, always ensure that you don’t attempt to convert other people to your religion, as this would go strongly against the Nepalese constitution. It is also worth recognizing that some Nepalese people have concerns about the level of religious freedom within the country; for example, Nepalese Secularism provisions state that religions and cultures that have been practiced since ancient times are protected by Nepalese law. As such, some people in Nepal believe that this indicates Hinduism is an indirectly state-sponsored religion. However, this is not official, and the official stance of Nepal is still that it remains a secular country with strong religious freedom.

Before you date and meet Nepalese women, it’s worth considering their typical mentality to help you decide whether dating Nepalese women might be the right choice for your lifestyle. Fortunately, in many cases, it’s easy to love Nepalese women for their friendly and gentle nature. Nepalese women will often do their utmost to ensure that their family and friends are happy and well looked after, potentially at the expense of their happiness. Furthermore, their hospitality makes them incredible people to be around, and many people find spending time with Nepalese women easy and enjoyable. All the while, Nepalese women tend to remain gentle, no matter what life throws their way; this further increases their attraction for many people. Nepalese women rarely shout or get angry, and they often strive to do their utmost to be respectful and put their loved ones first.

One notable trait of Nepalese women that you may also notice is that they are incredibly hard-working and independent – which can be both a good and bad trait. Indeed, you can count on gorgeous Nepalese women to do their best if a job needs to be done. They’re also often incredibly resourceful, helping you ensure that the job is done right! With that being said, this can make them a little reluctant to ask for or accept help from others–especially those they don’t know closely. As such, if your Nepalese partner appears to be working herself to the bone without asking for help, it may be worth asking if there’s anything you can do. While Nepalese women will often be independent, that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily a healthy way to live – and sometimes, getting help from someone else, such as a loved one, may reduce the chances of her getting burned out or exhausted.

It’s also worth keeping in mind when visiting Nepal and meeting gorgeous Nepalese women that they are often incredibly patriotic! Nepalese women are extremely proud of their history and heritage, which could also influence how they act in many cases. When dating Nepalese women, it’s always worth keeping this in mind, as this may significantly impact how Nepalese women behave and act. While Nepalese women and men are often incredibly understanding and tolerant of other ideas and cultures, criticism of their country may not be taken well. Interestingly, many Nepalese women are also very passionate about sports; their pride in their national teams is apparent in many cases. So, you can be reasonably confident that supporting Nepalese teams yourself will win you additional “brownie points” with your new Nepalese partner. It is also worth keeping in mind that many Nepalese women will also hold their family members (especially their elders) in high regard, so always try to act respectfully when addressing the topic of family. Failing to do so may cause your Nepalese partner a great deal of insult and hurt, potentially damaging your relationship with your gorgeous new Nepalese partner.
