Poverty may also affect the marriage chances of people with disabilities, which, in many societies, affects their standard of living and their possibilities of being considered fully respected members of their communities. In countries in which bride prices are paid, girls with a disability, if married at all, may bring less cattle (or similar value), if any, to their families than non-disabled girls. While in countries with dowries families may have to pay more for their disabled daughters to be married off, or alternatively marry them considerably below their social standing to find a partner and family willing to take them. Thus, disabled girls from a lower middle-class background may be married into poverty.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
