A pregnant woman of the traditional society in the east does not feel alone while she is pregnant because other people also support her. But in the modern society of the west the woman herself should observe her pregnancy. in this socrety the birth of the child is also unattended and it is done at hospRal. But in traditional society the birth is always attended. The people of traditional society use their own experiences in matters of matrimonial practices.
ln many traditional societies after marriage the bride goes to live With the mother-in-low and the wives of her husband's brothers She is not thought as member of new families until she has to birth a child. So the bride also longs for the child. but western people think that such mores (custom) are backward. cruel and wrong. The reality is that in western society. too. woman loses her surname after the marriage. Her surname is changed under her husband's name. In many traditional socreties the relationship between mother and child is more important than the relationship between husband and wife. In some such societies the child's relationship with the rest of his family is more important than With his parents. His physical intimacy with other members may be greater than with his parents.
