She probably wants to be sure she isn't marrying him for HIS money (or earning potential).
Parents are no less invested in who their sons marry than they are about who their daughters marry. Obviously, if someone is going to bring a new person into the fold, it's best if they are a good fit, and parents worry that a woman will walk off and take half their son's earnings, or run around on him, etc.
