[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, men used to want a wealthy wife, too. It's just that her money came in the form of a large dowry or inheritance. And it wasn't just wealthy people -- a lot of women were considered desirable marriage partners because their father owned some business that his son-in-law could inherit, or a good piece of farmland or whatever. And women often generated income after marriage: spinning, weaving, and other crafts; laundry; selling the products of animals or plants that she tended, etc. The model of a man marrying a woman without regard to the financial benefits she brought to the marriage, with the expectation that he would fully support her and she would not financially contribute, is actually more of the anomaly. [/quote] I agree. Marriage was mostly a financial act.[/quote]
