From Servant to Daughter

Commentators explain that this law elevated a female servant's status significantly. If the master arranged for her to marry his son, she was not to be treated as a servant but 'after the manner of daughters.' This meant she was fully integrated into the family, receiving the rights, protection, and provisions due to a daughter-in-law, demonstrating God's concern for justice.
