Females were married off. though.

When I turned 18 (plus six months or so), Dad gave me a duffel bag and said, "Good Luck."
Game over.
(His sage advice was, "If it doesn't fit in this bag, you don't really need it." As a young, mobile kid like me, he was right.)
(He actually gave me a bill one day for room and board, food, laundry, electricity, heating, car rental...
I said, "Dad! I could get my own apartment for less than this!" He replied, "Yep!"
Dad wins again.)

That's why you send your daughter to college. To fall in love, and marry, a good professional man.
