I was gonna be angry but we can't stop fighting. So here goes, no, you family system is deeply flawed. We don't have low rates of divorce bcz it is such an ideal system, we have low divorces bcz most women do not have anywhere else to go.
Our family system has long failed women.
You talk about looking behind the facade of the western life, please take a look inside our family systems as well, where women are silenced, beaten, abused & exploited.
You talk about sex crimes, but you fail to mention that your madrassas are a den of crimes against children. You are blinded by your own hypocrisy.
It's a family system where children are being abused by their own chachay, mamay, khalu, and there is never any accountability, never an atonement, never an acknowledgement. Entire generations live with traumas.
It's a family system where a majority of men believe women do not have the right to refuse their husbands sex. Imagine being enslaved like that, to not have own income, or a home, or a job, or a society that accepts you and not have the right to refuse sex.
