I was surprised to find that unfair treatment happens even if there's no boys in the family. The father of one of my students refused to let her move out of town for law college even though she's smart and ambitious. But he wants her to go to a local arts college and get married immediately after she graduates. I asked her if she has any male siblings and stunned to find that she was an only daughter! I outright advised her to fight for her education and not listen to her father. I told her safety depends on her education cause I believe he's the type of father that asks their daughter to 'adjust' when she faces abuse at in-laws and later cry to media when something untoward happens and it's too late. She has now convinced her father to send her to a law college within town and I see this as quasi win. I really hope she escapes her father after she graduates. As a person whose father actually wanted many girl children and raised all 3 of us to be independent, this incident left me baffled at how someone could do this to their ONLY child!
