I don’t think she’s saying no out of any feeling of inferiority or poor self esteem. I think she is saying no out of a fear of independence vs. vulnerability. Without things like assets, a solid social backing from her family, and a dowry, she’d be entering the marriage in a completely vulnerable state, and would have to rely solely on the hopes that his feelings would last forever and sustain his good will towards her. She would be giving up her very hard won independence from the brunt of society’s scrutiny and the little financial independence she’s earned herself. I think she’s very tempted by her feelings, but her mind and her experience are telling her it’s not worth it.
