In a recent interview with a private news channel, prominent matchmaker Shazia Rahman suggested that the actual number of unmarried individuals in Pakistan could be higher than reported. Rahman highlighted the demanding criteria set by girls, particularly regarding their potential partner’s education and income, as a significant factor contributing to this trend.
