All activities revolve around family life, and any member’s achievement advances the reputation of the entire family. One’s family is a source of reputation and honor, as well as financial and psychological support. An Arab’s first loyalty is to the family, which cannot be dishonored. Therefore, maintenance of family honor is one of the highest values in Arab society. Since misbehavior by women can do more damage to family honor than misbehavior by men, clearly defined patterns of behavior have been developed to protect women and help them avoid situations that may give rise to false impressions or unfounded gossip.
