Culture influences gender roles and expectations for men and women in various ways. Dressing styles, marriage traditions, and temple practices often impose different standards based on gender. For example, women are typically expected to walk behind men in wedding ceremonies, live with their husband's family after marriage, and face restrictions from entering certain temples during their period or after childbirth of a maternal relative. Overall, the document outlines how culture can prescribe different and sometimes discriminatory expectations for behavior, dress, rituals, and social practices based on whether one is male or female.
