 Previously, husbands have been unable to support women during childbirth due to cultural tradition deeming it solely the woman's responsibility.However, the capital of Nepal has recently allowed husbands to support their wives during childbirth in the hospitals.This can be attributed to the increasing trend towards a nuclear family, migration to the capital, a busy lifestyle, and exposure to educated couples and foreign ideologies that has shifted family dynamics from the relatives to just the couple themselves.
