In Things Fall Apart, the customs that Achebe portrays coexist because of strict gender roles.

Because men and women in Ibo society have strictly defined roles, everyone is kept "in place." Men, who are the dominant members of this society, have all the power and therefore control the law (the judicial system).

Women are viewed as weaker and their roles in society reflect that status. The only respect Igbo women were given in this society came through their connection to the divine (the priestess).

Because the structure of Igbo society was very rigid, people rarely left the roles society wanted them to play. (That's why Okonkwo hated weak men.) With the masculine and feminine sides of society separated, the two were able to coexist (especially since the masculine side held all the power).

This is particularly true for novelists who are writing about non-Western cultures for Western audiences. Such is the case in “Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe, in which the author writes about members of a Nigerian tribe.

[recoiling in indignant astonishment.] mr. worthing! i am unmarried! jack. unmarried! i do not deny that is a serious blow. but after all, who has the right to cast a stone against one who has suffered? cannot repentance wipe out an act of folly? why should there be one law for men, and another for women? mother, i forgive you. [tries to embrace her again.] what is the best conclusion that can be drawn about jack, based on his words and actions in this excerpt? he has a tendency to be rude. he is inclined to show his emotions. he has a tendency to be gullible. he is inclined to be unresponsive.
