nah joint family is just unreligious thats one of the main reasons to eradicate it. Its time we move on from whatever culture stuff we inherited from our past with india.
I have seen men ruining their marital bliss with their wife after their own family memers. Like agar biwi ko khush rakha ya elehda rakha tau maa naraz ho jaey gee behan naraz ho jaey gi bla bla , and then when these men enter old age they realize how much they need their wife and kids. Phir aik dam say biwion aur apnay bachon say hamdardi aur ziada mohabbat tapaknay lagtee hai. Very typical of our pakistani men, for instance watch drama dur e shehwar it was exactly about such kind of men. Btw joint fmaily may rakhna agar majboori ho tau kuch ettiquettes hotay hain jo joint family kay bhi har member ko follow karnay chaheeain like not interfering in others matters.
The response by the member hellhound in favor of joint family system is very ridiculous, would any of these guys will be okay with their own sisters living in households where there are dewars and jeths around and women lack their privacy, and if these pro joint family system guys' sisters have to do laundry of her sister in laws, brother in laws too? Cook food for everyone, face interferences in your life. Joint family is workable in two scenarios
1. Your house is very huge so that women can enjoy privacy and have enough rooms for kids.
2. Even if house is not huge people do not interfere and pry into each others affairs.
Even daughter in laws could be very lousy , fasadi and make life difficult for her husbands siblings. Har khabar apnay maikay pohanchana and so much more stuff.
In many of our joint family systems married couples are not allowed to retire for their bedroom until late midnight because according to mother in law , aisa karnay say ghar may mojood gair shadishuda behnon kay zehan pay bura asar paray ga.
Pakistani tau bilkul hee balance nahi rakhtay , ya tau hamaray mard apni maa behnon kay peechay bv kay rights kharab kartay hain ya biwi kay peechay apnay maa baap behan bhaion kay , yehi admi jab goriyon say shadi kartay hain tau unkay samnay moonh kholnay ki himmat nahi hoti. Jab burhapa ata hai tau yaad ata hai ka ziadtiyan ki theen.
I have seen these things first hand.
I would not marry off my sister or daughter into such households unless i am sure she will be treated well and incase she could not adjust then iwill always back her instead of instructing sab bardasht karo yehi shadi shuda zindagi hai.
We should educate our women so that in time of crisis they can work and support thenselves plus we should educate them about their rights so that they do not end up bearing torture silently just as how it is preached shamelessly in our society.
My opinion is if men will know that pakistani women can protect their rights and will not allow anyone to take advanatge of them then our user kind of men will adjust their own behaviors and that will help reduce divorce rates in long run.
