Even if he gives her all the money, she will be a widow, and then because she is still young she’ll return to her “family” and with how things follow patriarchy it means that ALL of her fortune will go into the hands of the step-father. Because he’ll be the only man in her family which means control her.
Unfortunately in that time and age it was the norm, anything a woman owns is the property of her husband and if not her husband its her father/step-father, if not them then the brother or male cousin, any living male in her family who is still alive.
Yea, but I’m a society like that, there is no guarantee people who come after her to take her fortune. Particularly her evil step family. The Duke has authority, he can protect her
