To be honest, what you said still applies here. It's even an inside joke in rural places that in a home, the husband is the general and the wife is the commander-in-chief. Also, as I've said in a previous post, the weakness of true masculinity here is thinly veiled in bravado and machismo.
Of course, however, the women here are still more tolerant of such behavior and thus, are less prone to cheating during marriage, preferring to stay loyal. Still, divorce might make its way here, and court annulment, even if it takes years, still occurs sometimes. There is also the concept of being 'liberated', a sl*tty take of feminism in the West, basically the h*e phase for conservatives.
