or does it have a social purpose?

Enslaving women as "social purpose"...? Perhaps, but such a "social purpose" seems to not have womens' best interest in mind.

I should also point out that none of the practices, beliefs, or concepts described in the OP were taught or recommended by the Buddha. They are products of the influence of other cultural and religious superstitions on later versions of "Buddhism" Nothing at all to do with what the Buddha taught. Why worry about any of it?
