It’s pretty common in Saudi. But interestingly one of the major problems is daughters who don’t marry. They are stuck in their dad’s household and with nothing to do. So they get depressed and neurotic.

The daughters can only marry somebody of equal or greater wealth and status. Otherwise the family loses face. But it's OK for a male to marry a beautiful woman of lower wealth, rather than a plain woman of his own class.
