“…Researchers have looked at various aspects, public perceptions, and Balinese patriarchal society. For example, articles on Balinese Shifting Speech Levels: Exploring Balinese Women's Language ... women have focused on social and psychological aspects such as the effects of widowhood on their lives economically, socially, and culturally (Putra and Creese, 2016), women's tendency to choose involvement in the domestic sphere rather than the public sphere (Gelgel, 2016), domestic violence and its horrendous impacts on women's psychology (Raka, Yasa and Suyatna, 2020) and negative verbal expressions in congratulation messages for new-born baby girls (Sartini, 2020).

Conversely, where women decide to file for divorce, they are branded shameful failures (Mahy et al, 2016;Parker & Creese, 2016;Pooja Rathi, 2018;Putra & Creese, 2016). This stigma is only exacerbated when the divorce is initiated by the woman, as shown in Table 4.…”

“…Furthermore, the identification of women who file for divorce as rebellious (nusyuz)-justified by religious interpretations of the concept-has significant legal consequences, as it is used to justify the abrogation of their rights.
