I think all that's really changed is we don't need to use daughters for alliances and political marriages much in the Western World (places with arranged marriages do, but they've had their own unique history regarding it).
So there is even less reason to give up your daughter from an early age to a random guy, especially as dowries aren't really "in style" so anyone offering to buy her comes across as massively suspicious.
