I’m just saying that the current situation seems to value selling of daughters, whatever the motive: be it poverty or a desire to perpetuate the system. Considering that women in this situation often do not have much say over the process, it is my assumption that there is a very real chance that the end result may not be the best one for them, whatever it might be.

You are basically moving the goal posts here, No True Scotsman style.

Am I? I think my original point still stands, which was nothing more than "there is an incentive for parents to sell their daughters" because they literally make money in doing so. In my second comment I provided an example of why this could be in conflict with the bride's interests.
