I do definitely agree with the meaning of Kanyadanam. It has got its own value and meaning. It is a sacred ritual for Hindus. A husband is never supposed to leave her partner under any odds. Definitely. But what about the girl? She has to obey her husband. she has to perform multifarious duties and functions not only towards her husband but towards the entire family. She has to keep and brighten the dignity and respect of her husband and his family as a whole. After marriage his family will be her family and the entire respect of the family depends on the daughter-in-law only.
Times are changing now. Better I say the days have changed a lot. Nobody is caring for the meaning.
The whole function has become an episode of two days or one day contract only. Many marriages are ending in failure and leading to immediate divorce.
In a case of any dispute between husband and wife neither side is evincing interest to interfere and settle the dispute and do the effort of patchwork.
