People around here pray for the girl's 'naseeb'. Parents of daughters lament that they are frightened for their daughter's 'naseeb'. Naseeb does not translate into 'future'. It translates into 'a girl's fate', decided by her in laws after marriage. It is degrading. By acknowledging that there is a thing like 'naseeb' . you ACCEPT that the girl is at mercy of other people's wishes about how they treat her. You build your prayer on that acceptance.It is not different from ' I wish the slave gets a kind master' . 
There should be no 'slave'. There should be no concept of a girl's fate being decided by the family she gets married in.
