Arabic term or phrase: منوط به
فالمرأة بعاطفتها ورقّتها وأنوثتها مصدر الاستقرار والسَّكَن النفسي والاجتماعي للرجل والأسرة، وبفطرتها وصبرها غير المحدود على مشاقِّ الحمل والولادة والأمومة، ترعى أطفالهما وتعتني بهم رضاعة وتربية وتقوم على سائر شئونهم، والرجل بقوّته وجَلَده وكَدْحه المتواصل منوط به تحصيل الرزق وتلبية احتياجات أسرته، والقيام على رعايتها وحمايتها

I understand that the term means to be conditional upon, however, I can't figure out the relationship of the term to the rest of the sentence. What does the pronoun in "bihi" refer to?
