That is because people in India have discovered that a woman has value even if she is past 16 and no longer a sexual virgin. They have learned that there is no expiration date stamped on humans and that the talent or worth of a female is not contingent on what males may think, because women are no longer part of an owners herd.
Female education and female financial independence has a lot to do with the change by the way, because women can and do empower other females.
