Women are usually housewives, teachers or nurses, but mostly housewives. Women shouldn’t drink much, should be home by 8 or 9 in the evening as it’s bad news for their reputations to be walking alone after dark. They generally should be escorted places, but it’s not totally shunned to be alone, either. It’s more socially acceptable for women to be passive. This is more the case in rural vs. urban environments.

Many women have their spouses chosen for them by their families. Being a mother is very highly valued, and most women are married at a fairly young age. Many young (16-year-old female students) drop out of school to get married.

Women usually wear skirts and have long hair, especially in the more traditional areas. Wearing pants may be problematic.

Women very rarely live alone, and if they do, there is a lot of gossip about their morals and marriagability.

The rules tend to be different for foreign women, to a point. Most can wear pants, have short hair, live alone, etc., but being out alone in the evening and too much drinking is frowned upon by many.
