Quote by Benjamin Franklin

Marry your son when you will, but you daughter when you can.

Marry your son when you will, but you daughter when you can.

Summary

This quote conveys the importance of prioritizing the marriage of a daughter over a son. It suggests that a girl should be married off as soon as possible, while the timing for a son's marriage is more flexible. The underlying notion here might be influenced by societal expectations and the belief that a woman's worth is tied to her marriage and the protection it provides. This quote highlights the conventional thinking that women should be married off earlier in life, whereas men are given more time and freedom in choosing their life partners.
