Not sure if this is a West vs East thing or it's just an individual case?


my mom was not ready to take care of my son and help me even after childbirth. but i dont see it with other couples here their mom's are willing to help whenever needed.

i think in western culture women go on dates after their husbands or after they take divorce. so they are not so much into child rearing or grandchildren stuff.

whereas here people are into family. they earn, they make houses, they give it to their sons, they buy gold and give to daughters, then third generation of grandchildren grow up around grandparents and grandparents are taken care of in old age.

but i missed out on all those things my house is very disfunctional


This is an old Arab tradition too, it was considered as an additional financial security for the daughter in case of divorce.
However, dowry (money/propreties from bride's family to groom) isn't Islamic but it's common in certain muslim cultures such as Egypt, muslim Indians, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Most muslim cultures adopt the Mehr (money and properties given from husband to wife as security according to islamic law) which is opposite to dowry.

^ a teacher once showed us the video you posted and said "just imagine it's lebanese flag instead of Italian and it'll still be all true."

I believe there's a Mediterranean culture.


From my experience with the Balkans.....I also believe there is a Mediterranean culture. Never mind the Ottomans, Byzantium still rules :lol:
