A good listen!  Don't you miss the old days when you sold your dead brother's daughters off to the first person who gave you the most money?  Then, of course, we started paying people to take the daughters (dowries), and now we pay for their weddings (a pseudo-dowry?).  I have three girls myself, but hopefully they'll help pay for their weddings when the time comes.  Even so, I wouldn't marry them off for money.
