    Patriarchy starts with the implicit ownership that has men paying upfront with bridal treasure and ornaments.

    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.
