I think the western country where you are currently working is not an English speaking area:)
Do you really think all problems are caused by women going to pubs? Why dont you have any issues with men who do that? And the equality which you are talking about exists only on paper. Our society is nowhere near ture equality, in fact I dont think any society is. Take a look at any marriage and you can see this gross inequality. A man can never accept a wife who is intellectually more capable than him. Even if a husband manages to 'tolerate' such a wife, he never helps her become better. There could be exceptions though, but very hard to find.
I too support the verdict, but I found your reasons silly, so just replying to provoke thought. You have a long way to go, hope you reach there soon.!
