Perhaps you are not familiar with some basic Hindu beliefs.
The basic rules are that whatever the husband does should be with the assent of the wife.
Even if he is to make a trivial gift or offering it has to be permitted by the wife.
As a token of assent she sprinkles holy water on the material to be gifted and stands touching the shoulder of the husband with holy darbha grass while the husband performs any sacred and holy act.
Many yajnas cannot be conducted without the physical presence of the wife.
And we believe that the wife is entitled to at least half of the punyams accumulated by the husband.
The lady may be silent but is supremely powerful.
And the vedic benediction for the lady is "beget ten sons and make or treat your husband as the eleventh son."दशास्यां पुत्राणां __ पतिं एकादशं कृधि
Of course gender imbalances might have crept in through social degradation.
But Vedic tenets and sanatana cult values the lady even more than the male though it is done in a subtle way
