Only in the selective relationships and sexuality, women are subjected to multiple restrictions. This inequality is manifested in:

Inequalities within the family. In general, men in social status, income, education levels, and social aspects, such as role-playing than women, this inequality has led to men and women in family relations, power imbalances, men naturally have a decision of the family of things power, while women were the existence of legal obstacles to divorce, forced marriage and a family of property ownership and control over a range of issues.

Of poverty would be a serious impediment to women's refusal to cooperate with the person she thinks it is dangerous to have sexual relations, they would run the risk of sexual violence or to endure unsafe sex in exchange for money, housing, food or education.
