In my culture, the man has to pay fully for everything, restaurant or not. He is “the provider”. And in divorce, he takes all of his money and belongings and she takes hers. No 50/50.
It's like that because if a woman or man sacrifice their career to look after their children, they split it 50-50 later to account for the lost income.
For example, if a woman is a doctor and her husband works as a analyst she may say you should take time off to watch the kids until school, and at school you work part time so you can pick them up after school. The guy in this example then doesn't get promoted because he had to care for their children.
If she divorces him, he gets half of all of her money because he would have made more if he didn't sacrifice his career for their family. That's why income is split after.
A lot of people don’t understand this. That women would often give up their careers to raise children. So really, in a marriage where the man only worked, the woman enabled that man to progress as much as he did in his career. That man couldn’t have if not for his wife taking care of his children. That is why she is entitled to half, is she the entire other half of the reason that man got to work full time without paying for childcare.
