A quote from an ancient Hindu/Indian scripture
Women must be honored and adorned by their fathers, brothers, husbands and brothers-in-law, who desire their own welfare. Where women are honored, there the Gods are pleased. But where they are not honored, no sacred rite yields rewards. Manu Dharma Shastras 3.55-56.
