Very objective of you to compare Saudi Arabia with India. Are you sure India is not the next Somalia and there are no bombs raining down your compound and it is my pride which is refusing me to accept the India is Somalia?
Men in traditional Hindu families got the property while women got the dowry. So that dowry was the only claim a woman had on her parents property. That changed with Hindu girls made eligible to family property from her parents side. Who said men do not do housework? A man not going to work is supposed to help at home and does. From gardening to spring cleaning to even washing up dishes and cooking. Majority of men though worked outside the house and majority of women chose to be housewives. Now when majority of women are housewives at home, do you expect them to sit on their asses and do no work at all?
Who says men cannot sit at home and raise children? No one feels uncomfortable with this arrangement. No one goes to anyone's house and determines who should work or not work. Why do you discriminate against your hand when you use your feet to walk? Why do you use your feet to walk? Why do you use your mouth to talk instead of your nose? Such discrimination against your nose? That is the logic of your questions.
Yeah I know how ahead Hillary Clinton was when she stood by her husband while he was getting serviced by Monica.
You can take a survey and you will find that 80-90% of households are run by woman and it is the man who hands over the paycheck to his wife. Plenty of men think it is okay to send money home to their parents because their parents were dependent on the men for their last years of life having spent all their income on his education and marriage. Women were not expected to take care of their parents, it was the job of her brothers. Likewise, you will find all of North India where families refuse to take a single rupee from their daughters even if she was earning so literally all her money she saves is hers. Neither the husband nor the father or brother will ever touch her money.
For those feminists who shout themselves hoarse about women's financial independence.
