Have seen it so many times in Egypt. Even with European women, after they've married an Egyptian. After they got their first baby, the husband gets all power, because she cannot leave the country with her kid, if he doesn't allow it. So he can blackmail her and very often he does. But why does it happen? It's the same reason, you described. After the men is married, the (male) society expects that his (European) wife is acting like an Egyptian women. Wearing traditional clothes, doesn't talk to other men and so on. So the society pressure on him is so strong and if he's too weak to resist, he starts acting like this not loosing his face against his friends and family. Very sad and painful.
