WSJ – May 9 – Shaadi.com is out with its annual survey of its 150K members’ matrimonial attitudes. 54% of women prefer living in a “joint family” after marriage–alongside parents and siblings–whereas only 21% want to be in a “nuclear set-up.” On education, only 10% of men said they would prefer a woman more educated than them, versus 69% of women who say they want their partner to be more educated than them. Still, ~85% of men want their wife to have a job rather than be a homemaker. ~54% of men and 46% of women–said caste is not a factor in evaluating their partners.

These are really interesting facts. Though some of them are quite common but, the joint family one is really shocking as most of the women today prefer living in nuclear families.
