Education or Marriage
Ahmed bin Abdullah Al-Shibibi believes that pursuing a degree and getting married are not necessarily competing choices. They can go hand in hand when there is maturity, capability, mutual understanding, and a willingness to share responsibilities—supported by families and institutions and by measures to ease financial burdens. He notes that the total fertility rate among Omani women reached 2.8 births per woman in 2025, but stresses that this figure alone is not enough to determine whether there is a crisis or to explain changes in childbearing. He calls for research into the reasons marriage and childbearing are being delayed, listening to young people, and fostering a culture and policies that support both education and starting a family.
