“Some of you will say we are equal in all aspects of society, No! That's not the right position. Even as vice president, I will kneel before my husband. I don't kneel because I am inferior, it's because of love and affection.

Don't leave this tradition so we can strengthen the bond of our families and bring up our children through good manners,” she said.
