[Sl.#] 4 [Topic / area] Family life [Islamic state] Men are the primary bread earners of a family where women stay at home taking care of other family members and protecting the wealth and properties including rearing children. Free mixing of male and female is not allowed in Islamic society, as a result women folks are ordered by Allah to wear hijab with an option to wear nikab when they are to present themselves in front of males other than the ones allowed. Marriage is seen as a way of building social relationships with a legal binding and act of responsibility. Children are known primarily on the basis of the progeny of the father. This arrangement prevents and / or discourages illegal birth of a child in the society out of wedlock. [Secular state] 
Both men and women are encouraged to work and therefore free mixing of sexes are allowed and encouraged. As a result the society is promiscuous and people tend not to marry and prefer common law under which a couple could live together as a husband and wife without any legal binding and responsibilities to each other having and rearing children without any legal bindings. Children are known by the progeny of the mother but not necessarily of the father as it is not always possible to assert who the real father is in a promiscuous relationship nor does it really matter in a society like this. For instance, Barak Obama is said to be the love child meaning an illegal child born out of wedlock is a President of the USA and people have accepted him that way.
