transition to what??

In Japan, there was a social problem that divorced women could not have sufficient financial support, even though they did all housework and parenting for their husband. It is because men usually take legal ownership on properties. But the low changed and women also have the rights for the property. Though I won't be a house wife, it is a good news because it's sad to see old ladies in tragedies and could be a bad news for men, if they get lazy wives. In Japan, relationships between husband and wife used to be more clear-cut. After the change of the low, I guess situations will be more complicated and the divorce rate will increase. Men might want women to share more costs to support their family (As a background knowledge, it was common that men pay everything if the wife is a housewife). But some people say if a woman was financially more independent, there might be less reasons for her to look for a husband hard... Women might become to care not only husbands' financial power but also appearance, etc. (?), though there were old saying means "A husband does not have to have good appearance". Also, we could say if a woman doesn't work hard or make money, it's gonna be hard for her to have a husband. Would this situation make men and women fair? Or does any woman still love to be a bird in a cage?
