The family is at the heart of Pakistani life. Most of the families in Pakistan live together from three to four generations especially those who live in countryside. In this society, family roots have came together since the creation of this country. The family foundation and the roots are made so strong so the incoming generation would be able to build their family and as well as their descendent. There is a strong relationship between family members. Members in the family earn money except for those who are too young and those who are too old to manage their self. Usually in Islamic society woman is not allowed to work outside the house especially if the woman is married. She has a responsibility to take care of her family, kids, and house management. Besides she has to deal with neighborhood society. Respect is always accorded to those older in years, and the ones who are younger are taught to obey their parents and everyone else in the family. Including, they have to do their school work on time and pray to Allah five times a day. Besides children have other responsibilities to deal with in the house. For instance, do what their parents ask them to do. Speak to them respectfully. Even when brother and sisters are speaking to each other, they have to respect and cooperate, no matter if they are older or younger. And soon they are introduced to the role which will outline their future behavior. Men in the house (father/ husband/ brother) have to take care of all the outside work. He usually doesn’t participate in the household duties. He will leave for work each day and return in evening expecting his meal to be ready. And this is accepted by everyone in the household.
