It isn't, but in Japan as in many other cultures the woman is considered to have joined her husband's family and her showing respect for his family is more important than him showing respect for her family.

How about a situation in which the police are monitoring an informant or undercover police officer who is with the criminals. They're waiting for something to happen before they enter to make arrests or search, or they're ready to go in and protect their CI or undercover officer if things go wrong. What if one officer wants to tell another that he thinks that the bad guys suspect the informant and they should prepare to move in? He may not name the CI, but if the criminals hear this, bad things will happen. Similarly, how about a hostage situation where a sniper needs to communicate that something has changed and he no longer has a shot? Situations like these call for immediate communication.
