The practice of the father of the bride paying the man taking the daughter as his wife makes sense now.

The wife is going to be a drag even in the best case scenario. Even if she does well and doesnt stab u in the back she will cost u alot of peace. And ur children will be a mixed bag.

Now society wants men to pay their own dowry to buy to have a used up slut that can sue him later for more.

Dooomed society lol
