Why be in such a rush?

I think it's weird that Mrs. Bennet is so determined to get her daughters married that she would be willing to allow her daughter to get sick to find a mate. She sends Jane to go to Mr. Bingley's house on horseback in the rain, and doesn't seem to care when her daughter becomes ill from it. She even says, "'Oh! I'm not at all afraid of her dying...As long as she stays there, it is all very well,"' (26).
So far, Elizabeth is my favorite character because she doesn't seem to throw herself at men just to please her mother like her sisters seem to do...Lydia is the worst as far as that goes. If you ask me, I see no point in trying to hurry to get married.
