I agree, not just financial freedom but the mindset also has to change. First Girls parents need to stop saying your life begins with marriage, instead of marriage, they should focus on empowering their girls. Making them financially and mentally strong.
Second, boy moms need to do better. This culture of mera Raja beta need to stop, learn that once he is married, his first obligation is to his wife and kids. Everyone else comes after.
this is a societal change, will take years if not decades to change if it ever changes, especially since everyone is society is part of the problem one way or another.
