There is a moral valuation lying beneath of women's sexual power through risk. The labor she subscribes to in 1. chance of pregnancy and raising a child 2. disease risk 3. social risk. Patriarchy starts with the implicit ownership that has men paying upfront with bridal treasure and ornaments. Following that women raise children for free while the husband says prime earner.

That's not a universal thing. In Hindu weddings, the woman's family pay the man's family. The payment is called dowry. The woman's family also bear the cost of the wedding ceremony too which is usually very high.

Dowry was also a thing in Greece until it was outlawed...
