- This is a culture where men have multiple wives and marriages are arranged. The constraints on women in this society are seen from a mother and her daughter's point of view, but even the father is constrained by society. He does what he must to fit in, and his culture lets him control his wife and daughter.
- You can't fight an entire society alone. Suliman accepts that, choosing to play by the artificial rules that bind the village. Men have the power in this village, and despite his wife and daughter's attempts to rebel, they can't change the system.
