Detailed Solution

Patriarchy is a system in which a father is the head of the family.
Patriarchy means the ruling head of a family will be the man, and women will not be able to make any decisions. Patriarchy is an old system that has existed in every society since ancient times. There are some benefits of patriarchy, but recently many evils of patriarchy have been unfolding. However, directly or indirectly, patriarchy has suppressed women's voices and encouraged violence against women. Under the patriarchal system, evils like dowry and female infanticide have also become major issues that everyone has to fight. In modern society, people do not want patriarchy; instead, they demand equality.
