SIS knows nothing. She is definitely one of those girls who are brainwashed by american college system and its propaganda.

I remember sitting in a class in my undergrad. While going through a research paper in economics about fertility decisions, all commentators on the paper kept on repeating the same theme: that fertility decision in our society is taken by men. (abortions, number of children etc). Men are dominant but most of these decisions are taken jointly. Nepali men are no more dominant than American rednecks, anyway, and lots of rights in Nepal were given to women without them even having to fight for it, unlike in America (eg, suffrage rights). Anyway, the girls from south asia , even though they are proud of heritage in some ways, get brainwashed after going through these brainwashing sessions, without them knowing it.

Several Nepali girls I know are unmarried until 28, 29, because after they have a job in the states, they are afraid to marry Nepali men and they are also afraid to date white men--some are often simply disgusted at the white man when he starts talking about past girlfriend. (Our educated women don't normally drive BMWs i.e. Black, Moslems and Whites, anyway). Lots of these girls are actually raised in conservative families backhome, and whatever transformation they might have gone through, they still can't eat pork and beer with a white man without feeling some discomfort. On the other hand,  they also don't understand that Nepali men are not as bad as their liberal education teaches them to be.

Coming back to SIS--you have no idea, but our law gives exclusive right to women for divorce. Women can get children and half of the properties. It is almost impossible for a man to get divorce on his own. This is true in India too. In fact, I think it is unfairly tilted in the favor of women.
