Therefore, in the past decades women have had a major increase in their economic independence. However at the same time that the dynamics are changed to give the power to women to decide, theres sacrifices that they have to make, such as the postponement of Maternity. Several studies, such as (Laura Gordo, 2009), prove that in order to specialize more in their jobs, women are postponing maternity. According to experts, by doing this they reduce their fertility rates. This problem leaves the question of, how can this change?. In my own opinion, I would say that there has to be a more significant change in the system. Maybe feminism is not totally right because while there is an injustice when a man has more economic advantages than women, there is also an injustice when women have to decrease their probabilities of having their children in order to compete in the economic system. This topic should be investigated deeper in further research. Asia cultures
Hinduism
In Indo-Aryan languages, a wife is known as Patni, which means a woman who shares everything in this world with her husband and he does the same, including their identity. Decisions are ideally made in mutual consent. A wife usually takes care of anything inside her household, including the familys health, the childrens education, a parents needs. The majority of Hindu marriages in rural and traditional India are arranged marriages.
Wife in Islam
Women in Islam have a range of rights and obligations (see main article Rights and obligations of spouses in Islam). Marriage takes place on the basis of a marriage contract. The arranged marriage is relatively common in traditionalist families, whether in Muslim countries or as first or second generation immigrants elsewhere. Women in general are supposed to wear specific clothes, as stated by the hadith, like the hijab, which may take different styles depending on the culture of the country, where traditions may seep in. The husband must pay a mahr to the bride.Traditionally, the wife in Islam is seen as a protected, chaste person that manages the household and the family. She has the ever important role of raising the children and bringing up the next generation of Muslims. In Islam, it is highly recommended that the wife remains at home although they are fully able to own property or work. The husband is obligated to spend on the wife for all of her needs while she is not obligated to spend even if she is wealthy. Muhammad is said to have commanded all Muslim men to treat their wives well. There is a hadith by Al-Tirmidhi, in which Muhammad is said to have stated "The believers who show the most perfect faith are those who have the best character and the best of you are those who are best to their wives. "Traditionally, Muslim married women are not distinguished from unmarried women by an outward symbol (such as a wedding ring).
