A new survey reveals fascinating things sparking debate online. Now, everywhere people talk about Gen Z and their lifestyle. Now, a new study reveals their views on marriage. According to a worldwide poll conducted by King’s College London, almost a third of Gen Z males think that women should follow their spouses’ orders.

According to the study, 31% of men in Gen Z, who were born between 1997 and 2012, believe that a wife should always submit to her husband. Approximately 33 percent also think that the husband should have the last say on significant choices in the family.

Older men were much less likely to hold these opinions. While 17% of Baby Boomer men believed that husbands should have the last word in significant choices, only 13% thought that women should obey their spouses. Compared to males, women were considerably less prone to endorse such opinions. Only 6% of Baby Boomer women thought that wives should obey their spouses, but 18% of Gen Z women shared that view.

The study also revealed that 24% of males in Gen Z believe that women shouldn’t come off as overly independent or self-sufficient. Only 15% of women of the same age group shared this perspective.
