This is what's happening here, while girls are paid to attend school. Boys are neglected.

A 100 Rs/day to attend school - that converts to about US$ 1.33, or a little over £1. Even in India, that’s not a lot of money.

Is this really a hill we want die over?

This is because otherwise the parents are tempted to marry them off in their teens, which stops their education dead.

They go to live with the husband's family, who then support her. Education isn't something most Indians seem to be bothered about in young wives and daughter in law.

Not the same pressure to marry boys off that young, because they are supposed to get married later after getting a career. It's okay to leave it until later.

It's a response to culture differences.
