What Khabib says here about not being present for the birth of his children makes sense to me. Men are not really of much help during labor. It’s best for them to be elsewhere, praying to God for the safety and health of the wife and baby, while her female friends, cousins, mother, aunties, etc., attend to her needs. In many parts of the modern world, however, humans have become so atomized that the husband is often the only person she can rely on.
