No one wants an old woman. They will need to offer more, i.e. obedience and resources/status. They won't/can't. Spinsterhood or de-facto leaving the religion is their future in the West. Nothing can stop this.

Westernisation is not piecemeal. You don't get to pick and choose.

The reason the traditional system works in the middle east is because there is patriarchy and patriarchal inspired family law. You have none of this in the West. ZERO.

Even in high income islamic countries you have rising spinsterhood because women spend their prime years in college and then at work/careers, but at least you have some semblence of traditional family law.
