Hassan, who spoke in the country’s local dialect, was quoted as saying that as part of their roles in the family, women are supposed to submit to their husbands, while the men shower love on them in return.
“Some of you will say we are equal in all aspects of society, No! That’s not the right position. Even as vice president, I will kneel before my husband. I don’t kneel because I am inferior, it’s because of love and affection,” she was quoted to have said.
