Mantras rituals of marriage are very much derogatory but still women like those. Why?

In many Hindu and other cultures, the marriage rituals are quite derogatory to women. As for example, they are to accept husband as paramguru and touch their feet. They are to change "gotra" (clan) in order to be counted as part of the husbands' family tree. The husband has to be respected as provider cum savior cum everything by wives who are far ahead of the husbands , in education, in social establishment, many virtues or earning. In spite of that, it is seen, many women ( perhaps most women) will prefer ceremonial marriages than to just legally solemnizing it. Rather they would vehemently oppose such thoughts of their relatives and guardinans Why?

It is done for namesake nowadays and it does not affect the educated girl that much nowadays. As for naming, there are matriarchal societies in India also. By changing how things each society work now just lead to confusions. Let the naming and stuff remain as it is. Women now do not take up husband family name as they get passports before marriage. Why are you so paranoid? First focus on women protection rather than these nonsense topics. protecting women saves their lives these nonsense topics do not save their lives.

Please, give your comment in a more polite manner. There is nothing to be worried for at personal level. And how do you know, whether I have a feeling of paranoia? And why do you call it non-sense issue? Would you relish to be called like that? In stead of accepting or rejecting my views on mantras or rituals, you spoke about something else. In your own vocab, how should these things be called?
