For a Palestinian martial arrangement, Women are most often or not expected to stay at home take care of children and the house. Knowing this, many Women must make the decision if they want to be married due to the circumstances.

It is pretty common for women to go for higher education for the chance at getting better pay, but they are still held back in the economy. Due to the way marriage is perceived the women is often seen as second class, so they don't get the opportunities to make the decision they need.

In the West Bank decisions are traditional and collaborative. While Israel for widely accepted self-expression, there are still present gender roles that are imposed on family members.

In the West Bank, many women are given the absence of basic rights such as self-expression. Alternatively, in Israel, many are given the opportunity to express themselves regardless of one's gender.

Parents put a lot of importance on marriage to relieve themselves of the financial burden of their daughters. Social and religious pressures force women to be wives and mothers.

A lot of women didn't access higher education because of early marriage so they have less economic opportunities. The passive role they are forced into inhibits their political activism.

Because of Israel's Western influence, there seems to be a mirage of freedom with women being able to pursue higher education but only to help their husbands. Have more individual freedoms and sense of self but still socialized to be wives above all. In the West Bank, there are more explicit traditional roles and hold resentment towards their parents for early marriage--saw themselves as "1 in 10,000" rather than having a unique sense of self.
