NPR makes subtle claim of Patriarchy in Hindu weddings with Malefic intent.
The article mentions practices such as kanyadaan to be regressive and praise those women who are not following the ancient rituals exactly. While there is no problem with women wanting to conduct rituals and become priestesses, to say that this is a awakened feminist movement against patriarchy is a jibe against Hinduism as the Hindu wedding customs are not designed to make women inferior at all. Kanyadaan is erroneously translated as literal donation of the bride as property which is distortion of this Hindu practice.
