Society

Men and women have equal rights and freedoms under Moldovan law. Both male and female family members hold outside jobs. But in addition to their careers, women are frequently expected to do household duties and childcare. Women organize daily life even if men have greater decision-making authority.
Most marriages are founded on romantic connections. Families are typically consulted once a couple decides to get married in order to approve the union. Marriage and divorce are common in Moldovan culture.

The majority of residences are patrilocal in nature. The newlyweds reside with the groom's family. If they construct a home elsewhere, they might later leave. In rural places, traditional society still upholds the custom that the youngest son must care for his aging parents in order to inherit the father's home.

Children are cared for by mothers and other female family members. In Moldovan society, interactions between grandparents and grandchildren are highly cherished. While the urban society of Moldova closely resembles that of many Western countries, the rural sections of the nation nevertheless exhibit more traditional ways of living. Women smoking in public is frowned upon in rural areas. Men don't smoke inside the house and think it's nice to smoke outside. In villages, people are courteous and respectful when greeting one another.
