A son is a son till he takes him a wife, a daughter is a daughter all of her life

The proverb "A son is a son till he takes him a wife, a daughter is a daughter all of her life" reflects the traditional gender roles and expectations that have been ingrained in many societies for centuries. This saying highlights the idea that sons are expected to eventually leave their parents' home and start their own families, while daughters are seen as more likely to stay close to their parents and maintain a strong bond with them throughout their lives.
