 The fragile kind of woman needs more care from her family. 

That doesn't happen because we lost the culture of marriage. 
Parents don't look after their child's marriage anymore. It's because of cultural decadence. 
Many decades ago, and in some places still today, parents would evaluate possible candidates, offer advice and encourage their children to have a good marriage, the sooner the better (especially for women). 
We lost that. 

This current civilization has lost its character, its mission, its motivation, its aim. This is a zombie apocalypse, at a civilizational level. A zombie civilization. 

Men and women don't think of marriage anymore, of forming a family, leaving their mark on this world, effectively changing it for the better. Everything is impermanent now. The reign of impermanence. "No reason to worry about anything, why bother?, we're dead anyway." This is the vibe the prevails nowadays. No reason to deeply fall in love, no reason to create a strong family, no reason to change the world.
