    (seems to be a custom or superstition of sorts, boys bring good luck or something?

    Girls grow up, marry their husbands, and move in with his family and take care of his parents. Sons take care of you in your old age. No sons = end up poor in a hut, and one day you fall, break your hip, can't move from the spot and starve to death because there's nobody to help you.
