I just... I can't even fathom the thought process that would lead to someone doing this.
Actually, yes I can, because it's in the bible: the creepy incest subtext is there, but it's not the main thing. What this really is is a way to extend ownership over a woman's body to a man even before she's sexually active. Gone are the days of being able to sell your daughter into marriage, and this is just another way to scrabble for the old regressive bullshit in the modern era.
The idea is that, from birth to death, these women's sexuality and reproductive choices will be controlled by a male figure; her father until marriage, and her husband from then on.
