So I fell in love with a rich attorney's / Elderly ugly daughter.

Time was when Love and I were well acquainted.

The crumbs which fell from the rich man's table.

Without the rich heart, wealth is an ugly beggar

A daughter could be the most reliable relative as far as parents are concerned.

It's a strong belief, formed out of experience, in the minds of parents from this part of the world(India) that a daughter is the only person they could rely on at their worst times.
