This here should give you an idea of what I was referring to some weeks before. It's not matriarchy, but there is a weird dynamic where the husband clings to his mother while treating his wife like shit. The wife then raises her sons the same way and the cycle repeats.
They enable it. The daughter believes the father can be fixed solely through some magical empathy concoction. That won't happen; it is ignorance and self-righteousness all around. The problem is if the desi women do implement negative incentives, like disowning abusers, they'll just get raped, beaten, or kidnapped into marriages anyway; and they are too cowardly to sacrifice collectively for a supreme good, instead only opting for immediate stage 1 incentives instead. The cowards unfortunately deserve each other as they prefer not to actually bridge one another's firmaments through proper communication, personal boundaries, and action.
Hinduism doesn't believe in a supreme truth because of its relativism, whereas Islam does believe in a supreme truth but doesn't care about uncovering it as they believe it is already found from their faith. Only Christianity from the Greek traditions, care about sacrificing for an eternally discoverable supreme truth. Jung's Answer to Job plus Aion helped me figure this out.
I watched Under The Tree (2017) recently, set in Iceland, a horror drama within Icelandic culture. Icelandic culture is essentially the mirror opposite to desi culture. The film betrays that the men are driven to insanity and their demise by the self-righteousness of the women. In desi culture, the women are driven to their insanity and demise by the self-righteousness of the men. Throughout the movie I was aghast at why none of them bridge their firmaments and properly connect and love each other; they all act with this entitlement that they are right, the other is stupid and wrong, and there is no point talking or even comforting one another. It's cowardice disguised as pride and politeness. It's satanism. It's anti-human. It's idol worship of the self that separates, instead of the divine that unifies.
The desi women need to recognise they cannot create an equitable world for themselves by submitting themselves as merely a subject within their man's world; they need to claim their own authorship, that pairs harmoniously to reality and alongside the firmaments of others. From this they can help foster and nurture good male role models, that can protect their plight, over generations.
The desi men need the moral of the American Pie films; that people who have cultivated healthy relationships never have to worry about sex, or relationships, or fulfilment, as they are side effects of being a well adjusted person. And it is a lot easier to be that, than to be a loser. Unfortunately, many don't learn this the smart way.
