chinese always focus on men,so all the girls in the family have to be kicked out to her husband's, and live there for the rest of their live by not knowing what will get to their future....my father said that it is accepted to be that way internationaly or another word, worldwide....I just curious is it really so?

Even in India it is the same situation. Once the gal is married, she is the absolute property of her husband, and her parents or relatives cannot exercise any right on her.

Of course her parents pay huge sum to get rid of her. But no one regrets. Even if the groom ( some good ones) refuses, gals parents forcefully gift him, Because he is the one who will take of their daughter for rest of life.

It is not a norm for chinese girls to be out of their parents home when they get married. I know of some where the husbands are married into the girls' families. Rules are meant to be broken. It is not even a rule, just some traditions. To me, the best is when two person gets married, they should live on their own and raise their own family.

If a person gets married, the man and woman will have to leave their parents and start a new family. It doesn't mean they are kicked out. It has to be done because marriage is a start of a new family. Some, for some reasons, stay with the parents until such a time they are able to buy their own house or rent an apartment. Yes I agree with your father, it is a universally accepted social convention.
