You thought right. It is simply a barbaric tradition that stayed from those old days where daughters were simply seen as a sort of monetary value.
Fathers would give away the bride either to pay off a debt, as a peace offering, or even to rise up the social ladder.
It is pretty f* up if you ask me, but today the meaning has changed almost completely.
Fathers are said to give away their daughters now as a symbol that they approve of their husband-to-be and that they wish them the best of fortunes.
Yeah, there will be some tears. #daddysgirl
