Should daughters be kept(protected) at home?

Many cultures don't allow their daughters to go out unless escorted. The sons, who are free to roam the streets, are only going to meet girls from other traditions and might think of them as loose.

Meanwhile the local boys will build resentment to these cultures because they see the sons behaviour as predatory and their attitude as insulting? Isn't practice of just keeping the girls at home bound to be socially divisive?

    Socially divisive? Sure. Most traditions are socially divisive in a diverse population. Just about anything that sets on group apart from another can be socially divisive. The business of keeping daughters at home, however, pretty much sucks for the daughters.

    No because how will they get to enjoy life! But in some cultures that is tradition!

    They shouldn't- they need to experience life.
