India is starting to see “wife sharing”, the girl marries the oldest brother and they all share her.
We’ll know that women have more value, though, when dowries are replaced by bride price, men paying for women instead of families paying him to marry her.
And when women have a material value to their society, then the families will stop aborting them as often.

True. But culturally the women still go to the husbands family so it's not a perfect incentive...
