From what I see in online profiles and from real-life people, Hispanic single women seem to prefer to be close to their own families - are Hispanic families less 'patriarchal' in that respect than East Asian families, in which it was traditionally expected that daughters would be marrying into another family and once she did so, her obligations would be primarily to her husband's extended family?

When the father is absent, weak, or busy, the influence of the mother can come to dominate over the children, shaping their beliefs and allegiances so that they feel closer to the mother's family than their father's? (Though the physical proximity of relatives also needs to be taken into consideration; if the father's extended family is close and affectionate, this would probably counterbalance the influence of the mother and her family?)
