OK. They didn't work for pay. But don't they work in the husband's family?

---------------------------- You are mostly right. Small correction: traditionally women didn’t work (for pay, that is!), so a girl is a burden for the husband’s family; hence the dowry, which in turn makes her a burden for her own parents. The boy on the other hand takes care of the parents in old age, so he is cherished.
