What is their code of honor?

Men and women are expected to follow specific codes of family and honor, maintain the family, and rear the children. Communication within the family tends to be vertical rather than horizontal—top-down. Parents tend to “use anger and punishment and the children respond by crying, self-censorship, covering up, or deception” (Abudabbeh, 1996). Child-rearing techniques range from mild rebukes to threats, balanced by unconditional love and appreciation.
