Why it is necessary for a woman to be equal to a man? It has come from the centuries that a man is standing at the head of the house.

The survey was conducted in 7 administrative districts of Yerevan – Ajapnyak, Avan, Erebuni, Kentron, Nor Nork, Shengavit, Kanaker-Zeytun. The sample of the study was based on the standard of education, secondary, vocational and higher. In addition, the sample included only women\/ mothers-in-law\/ having grandchildren – only girls, only boys, as well as both boys and girls. In total, 30 interviews were conducted.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The overwhelming majority of the respondents think that they are much better mothers-in-law and they treat their daughters-in-law much better than their mother-in-law used to do.
