However, this does not imply absolutely that a woman with a high level of education and economic power will necessarily have greater "spousal rights" in the household. Research also shows that the degree of urbanization in the couple's place of residence, the size of the husband's family, as well as the duration of the marriage are all important variables which influence the relative rights of spouses.
但這並不是絕對意味著教育程度高、有經濟能力的女性在家裡的「妻權」就一定比較高；研究也指出，夫妻居住地的都市化程度、家庭成員複雜程度、還有結婚年限也是影響夫妻權力關係的重要變數。
