I think you are right that these Rukhsati songs are actually written by men. Men were writers of traditional folk stories from Shah Latif to Waris Shah, catharsis of sub-continent’s ladies feelings was done by male poets. A topic which we already discussed at length.

I wonder how many of them were fathers of daughters. It’s interesting to see almost all Rukhsati songs reflect upon father-daughter relationships whereas traditionally, girls spend far more time with their mothers in sub-continent (and even in other parts of the world).
