In developed countries including India, gender expectations and family roles reflect and maintain women&#8217;s inferior role.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">One law is that a son is constantly favored over the birth of a girl who actually exists in nearly every culture and group.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">In terms of schooling, healthcare and other resources, culture is more segregated in favor of males.
