Neeranam Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 A mate called me to tell me that his wife was going to university to study. I told him that she couldn't as it was against the law. Does anyone know the law relating to this? Is this stupid law only for undergraduates in Thailand. What about if a married farang wanted to go to uni?

Nordlys Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 My wife is on Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University correspondence course pursuing undergraduate accounting degree and she's married. She may not have been married yet when she signed up for the course but she is registered as Mrs. Nordlys (not Miss) now. I can't imagine how a marital status can be a reason for barring someone from uni admission application regardless of your nationality even in Thailand.

Neeranam Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 I can't imagine how a marital status can be a reason for barring someone from uni admission application regardless of your nationality even in Thailand. It is a reason for many universities, at least 5 I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a reason for many universities, at least 5 I can think of. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Which unis are they? For both undergrad and graduate course? Is that legal (or even constitutional)? And what's the rational for that policy? Sounds ridiculous. Edited August 30, 2005 by Nordlys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and the wife were talking about her cousin and her boyfriend, they have been together for years, he works and takes care of her while she studies at University, he pays for her fees etc.. So I asked why the familes haven't made them get married, the answer I got was because she had to study first... I didn't quite understand, but now I do.. totster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarragona Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 This is also true of the military academies. I know one young man who had two children by the time he graduated. He wouldn't marry his girlfriend and it had to be kept quiet officially until he was through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovenman Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Apart from it's the school's rule, what would the justification be for not allowing a married person to attend a university? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It almost sounds as if you are holding the OP responsible for not allowing married persons attend university..! totster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
