An American viewpoint
'Yes, he was wrong, but I forgive him.' Women standing by their men—what’s your opinion is it cultural, financial or spiritual norm? What do you think? In an article by Emily Friedman entitled, “Why Women Stand by Their Men Wives Often Feel Pressured to Show Support, Experts Say” If [the couple] has children and they've had a relationship for a long time, then how do you walk away from it if you really care about the person?" said Puglisi. "A lot of women criticized Hillary when she didn't say something, but in the long haul these women feel that it's what's best for the family and them and the husband in the relationship."

An African viewpoint
In Africa, Kenyan women hit men with sex ban—the wives of the Kenyan president and PM have been asked to join in. Women's activist groups in Kenya have slapped their partners with a week-long sex ban in protest over the infighting plaguing the national unity government. The Women's Development Organization coalition said they would also pay prostitutes to join their strike. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8025457.stm?lsf
A Chinese viewpoint
Traditionally the family has been the most important unit of society, and this is still true. The family is also an important economic unit. In rural areas, where about 74 percent of China’s people live, the traditional family consisted of the head of the household, his sons, and their wives and children, often living under one roof. Same surname within their clan or village. In china the main form of wealth is land.
In a piece aired on 60 Minutes, “China: Too Many Men Lesley Stahl Reports On The Country's Unique Population Problem revealed, “The one-child policy is 25 years old, so the first generation is just now reaching marriage age, and for China that’s a big problem because it is estimated that as many as 40 million of its young men could spend their lives as bachelors.” Divorce in China may not be as high yet as in America but the numbers of divorced couples keep climbing. In China Beijing is No. 1 with the Divorce Rate of 39%.
With globalization, of course, the ‘backward’ countries are catching up. Women, especially, with access to higher education and higher salaries, are less willing to put up with traditional roles and expectations. Social and cultural moralists are having a field day, predicting, like always, dire consequences for the ‘social fabric’. According to the New York Times, “Chinese law, he says, recognizes seven grounds for the divorce of a wife -- childlessness, wanton conduct, neglect of husband's parents, loquacity, thievishness, jealousy, and malignant disease.
