Has the West ruined families?

If your husband runs off to the farm in Pakistan, abandoning his 2 daughters, 1 son and wife - her brother will give her money to survive. Her mother will tell her to stick it through. If the husband does the same in the west, the wife is free to ditch his ass.

And is that a bad thing? If the husband runs off, why punish the wife by making her go out and work (provided in this example that she was not working before)? If she has no family members to help her, she’ll have a hard time going to work AND managing a home, she wont’ be there for the children because she’s busy working because she needs the money to take care of them. If her parents or siblings can help her ease the burden and give her money as well as emotional support, then what’s wrong with that?
