This is how things used to be. In the 5th century BC, the Babylonians had a marriage market where men would buy their wife.
What an elegant system this would be if it was modernized and made fair.
Women want attention and they want to be married to the best man they can be. So just make it an auction and let men decide what women are worth. As disgusting as it is, women have already been auctioning off their virginity by their own free will, which is just prostitution and should probably be illegal. At least this way the woman gets to keep her dignity and will be married with her honor and hopefully her virginity in tact.
You could even put limits on how many women you can own at any one time (maybe just one at a time). That would ensure the wealthy men dont just purchase all the women.
The Babylonian Marriage Market: An Auction of Women in the Ancient World
In the 5th century BC, Greek Historian Herodotus wrote about the customs and traditions he witnessed while in Babylon.

“I now turn to their customs, the most sensible of which, in my opinion, is also practised, I hear, by the Illyrian tribe. Once a year, in every village, this is what they used to do. They used to collect all the young women who were old enough to be married and take the whole lot of them all at once to a certain place. A crowd of men would form a circle around them there. An auctioneer would get each of the women to stand up one by one, and he would put her up for sale. He used to start with the most attractive girl there, and then, once she had fetched a good price and been bought, he would go on to auction the next most attractive one. They were being sold to be wives, not slaves. All the well-off Babylonian men who wanted wives would outbid one another to buy the good-looking young women, while the commoners who wanted wives and were not interested in good looks used to end up with some money as well as the less attractive women.”
