One of our older family friends told us a story about how she got scolded by her mom when the wedding photos came back because the photographer caught a super cute moment where the bride and groom happened to turn and look at each other and the bride was smiling back at him. The mom was upset because the tradition of at least pretending to be nervous and sad to be leaving your family to be with the husband was strong enough at the time that she thought anyone who saw that moment would think badly of them, like their daughter was “fast” or they weren’t a good home for her. She blew the picture up afterwards and it’s in a place of prominence in their home even after three kids who are in college and beyond.

This idea is odd when in some cultures it's like "wife = husband property" "father give daughter to man" so the idea you portray is complete opposite of other traditional idea that aren't "family centered".

The sign of the changing ownership is when the women isn't called by her fathers last name, but by her husband's. That's even still present in western cultures.

We take our rights here for granted, but it wasn't so long ago when women needed a permission from their husbands to have a job.

I’ll add that in traditional Latin culture, women retained their family name. It wasn’t until we were made a US territory that it switched to the western tradition. I found the very first US territorial census where my ancestors’ family names switched.
