    • I think it's to encourage woman to marry, as in asian countries, once the woman is married, they are expected to handle all the domestic work. That includes the whole husband's family (aka working and cooking for large crowds of people every time they have a family union, national holidays, new year eve, lunar new year, harvest moon festival, and the annual memorial of any deceased ancestor and family member). Roughly, on average, it means catering for a crowd of 50-80 people every month (if you're lucky) or every 2 weeks. Yup, with all of the household work + childbearing/raising (usually falls solely as the wife's responsibility), they have to take times off work. It's acceptable in asian countries for the husband to neglect their family and any housework because they are "working". And the wife has to take time off work, or do not work at all to "sacrifice" for her husband's career. They have to live a life fully dependent on their husband. So with no career prospect, no future career after getting married, more and more women in Asia are choosing to not marry at all. And you think the trial decision is unfair?

    • The truth is a lot of women have to stay in the toxic relationship with their abusive husband, because they couldn't find a job after 5-7 years working as a maid in their marriage. And society either blames them for "taking too much credit of them doing housework" or "not tolerant enough of their husband" or "not sacrifice enough for their children's future" and making their children at a disadvantage being raised in a single-parent household. That's Asian countries' stigma, always forgetting the man's responsibilities and taking the woman's sacrifice for granted. How convenient it is to blame someone who has little to no voice at all in a relationship, isn't it?

So the age of marriage for women has been on the increase in these past few years (ppl are waiting much later to get married). If you ever go back to rural areas, it's not uncommon for a family to have a feast of 80-100 people regularly (the number is smaller 50-80 in the city).

Society would not even exist without that "invisible" labor. If you pay your nanny, maid, cook, etc., then you owe that to your "housewife" as well. Otherwise it's exploitation. If roles are reversed, then a "househusband" should also be paid for that same labor.

    • ​@@estimatingonediscoveringthree Low information people need to invoke evolution to avoid taking ownership of their concerning social beliefs. You're not a tribal human, and paleoanthropology from 10K years ago doesn't control your social life anymore than it gives you a caveman unibrow (unless you have one). Further, cowards try to dismiss any criticisms to their world view by decrying wokeness instead of grappling with the merits of their own stances. All these are measure to skirt around TALKING DIRECTLY about the power and labor imbalance central to the terms and conditions of a housewife. And to avoid talking honestly about the urge to protect the strength of this imbalance. Why do you want to protect it so badly? Why is the structure of another individuals life so concerning to you? Unless you benefit or suffer from the arrangement, you shouldn't have a fuck to give. Something smells like you benefit and are keen on protecting that benefit. So let's go to the literal dictionary, and notice some uncomfortably close parallels to slave-like labor in the institution of traditional marriage. Define "slave": *"a person who is the legal property of another and is forced to obey them.": a wife who is legally married to a man, and is expected to heed their husband's requests for sex/dinner/moving towns/cleaning in this traditional arrangement. *"a person who works very hard without proper remuneration or appreciation": wives get no material compensation for housework; they receive the psychological satisfaction of the family they work to build, which the husband may also destroy at their whim via divorce (i.e. they are never given full ownership of this 'payment' ). *"a person who is excessively dependent upon or controlled by something": housewives have no financial independence by social design, and cannot exercise financial power to control the relationship due to her dependence on his income. The husband can exercise financial control without limit if the wife does not listen. If the wife is unhappy with her marriage, she does not have the means to leave, as it would mean owning nothing and losing everything: powerless. The purpose of a housewife is for the woman to subscribe to a life where they derive all satisfaction and value as a human being out of being an accessory to the life of a man. Now in a circumstance where the independence to self-determine is forbidden and daily work without pay is demanded, this is a structure of control of one's life that is, if not slave-like, is subjugation. Pre-feminism, should a woman defy this system of marriage, they would have no access in society to opportunity or community (see socially rejected 'spinsters'). That is why women decided to get jobs. They wanted them. And in present day, if your spouse sacrifices income they could have been making in order to dutifully serve your home for 90% less than the cost of a live-in maid, they experience damages if you ditch them. It's so so simple.

    • ​@@estimatingonediscoveringthree you mistake marriage for human love. Love is what glues society together, and it is what brings stability to all bonds and relationships we hold. A marriage without love is a prison. But love without marriage is not. Therefore, marriage is a social institution that was made to formalize the commitment of love. It is nothing more fundament or more sacred than that formalism. We look to the varieties of marriage all over the world, from polygamy, to dowry, to cousin-marriage, to monogamy, to same-sex marriage, to polyamory, to polyandry, to common-law cohabitation, to conditional and arranged marriage, we see that the diversity and robustness of human love resists the definition of any single social formalism. Marriage is shaped by the fundamental nature of human love, not the other way around, and defense of the practices of one specific tradition as the sole method of holding society together is yet another tactic to avoid DIRECTLY AND HONESTLY discussing the fundamental power imbalance baked into the terms and conditions of traditional monogamous marriage. Given this diversity of type, and the proof that all is well for society and families who operate within these various legal and extra-legal structures to define love, there is no nature-based moral justification to explain a legal stewardship that deprives one member of significant autonomy without recourse. When love and marriage can take so many forms, there is no reason the partners cannot be equal in power. To demand that one side be less powerful is unethical. The only way to ethically support the traditional imbalanced gender roles of marriage is to realize the value of the spouse's labor could be earning them power, money, or independence elsewhere, and to consequently give that spouse the security that their work has value: hence this court decision ordering payment in the case of divorce. Does this not make sense? Do you think it's fair to expect someone who gives up their life for someone else should be guaranteed nothing for that sacrifice? To answer yes implies you fundamentally value their life and independence less than yours.
