Still males are suspicious of such trends, because they suspect that such public behavior by their wives would damage their family honor. In such cases, they could even terminate their marital relationship by sending their wives to their natal family or annulling the marriage. Women's position in many respects is lower than that of men, especially in the family. From early childhood, a female child is made fully conscious by her environment that she is a liability for the family and should play a very submissive role, unlike her brothers. Men have propagated cultural and religious beliefs that women are by nature inferior.
Bangladeshi society considers motherhood the most desirable role for the women.
And family responsibilities are more important for women than personal careers. Interestingly, even educated girls in urban Dhaka are still trained by their mothers to be submissive and taught the twin virtues of patience and sacrifice, as marriage is viewed as the main goal of a Bangladeshi woman's life. Girls also learn to accept their inferior status in the society and to fit into socially acceptable roles. However, it is an accepted norm that a husband needs his wife mainly to perform the domestic roles and satisfy his wishes, while a wife needs a husband as her provider in all respects. Only when a woman performs her socially designated roles and efficiently will she be ensured a position of some dignity within the family.
