you might not mind too much if you lived in a time when women didn't have their own bank accounts or source of income not controlled by their husbands. it was actually a decent rule when it was the only thing of real value you truly owned and could sell if you needed to gtfo of an abusive relationship or give you a bit of breathing room if you were widowed suddenly (and your husband's family decided not to take care of you once he was gone).
but yes, now a days is definitely overkill.
Like abused wives can easily escape and do their life without repercussions. It isn't a rule to favor abused wives.
