'You found a loophole': Parents' $50k wedding gift exposes ridiculous double standard, daughter elopes in response

It wasn't so long ago that young women only had two choices in life: get married or good luck, sweetie. It remains true in other parts of the world. But thanks to some courageous gals of history and those who championed them (aka the invention of the dishwasher and birth control), we have a few more options. But some people are slow on the uptake and still expect women to join the ranks of married life just about as soon as they can. And in some cases, the call is coming from inside the house (aka it's coming from your parents). 

Parents will undoubtedly have expectations for their children, but in this particular case, they had much different expectations from their sons than they did from their daughter. What followed was some delectable malicious compliance, and a good story full of moral quandaries. Read on for all the details of this intra-family title 9 case.
