When feudal society married several aunts and wives, how to deal with them after liberation? The solution is commendable
In ancient times, we all know that men were full of wives and concubines, especially in some very rich people, who could marry several wives at a time. People in feudal society looked at them and thought it was very normal. Just after the founding of New China, we stipulated that one person can only marry one wife, and it is illegal to marry two people. However, some people here will find a loophole, so what should people who married several wives before the founding of New China do?
In fact, what we don't know is that in ancient times, monogamy was actually practiced, but some people could take concubines. After the founding of New China, China's marriage law carried out very strict regulations. The general meaning is that if a woman wants to divorce her husband, she should approve it immediately and cannot stop it. But if the woman is still willing to continue to maintain this polygamous relationship with her husband, the state will not say anything, anyway, it all depends on the woman's intentions.
Perhaps many people look at it, in ancient times, three wives and four concubines were practiced, but in fact, in ancient times, the phenomenon of three wives and four concubines was actually very rare, not very many. In fact, since the Yuan Dynasty, the monogamous system has been promulgated, but if you must want to take concubines, it is not impossible, but you must meet two conditions. One is that you must be over 40 years old, and the other is that you cannot have children, and you must meet these two conditions before you can go to concubines, otherwise you will not think about it. And this system has been continued ever since.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were more explicit regulations on the matter of concubines, and ordinary people could only be monogamous, because even if you took concubines, you could not afford to raise them, and why do you think they valued you. In ancient times, officials could take concubines, but the number of concubines in different classes was also different. This means that your officials, the more you cut, which is also a motivation to encourage officials to climb up.
However, some of the harm caused by three wives and four concubines is still very large, because in ancient times, the dignity of women was very lacking. Many families feel that sooner or later their daughters will marry, they are all from other people's families, and only their own sons are their own. Even now, this kind of thinking still exists, especially in the homes of some very rich people, and this feudal ideology is still killing women.
However, it is gratifying that after we established the new China, our country advocated equality between men and women, and the rights and obligations of men and women are the same in all aspects. This is also an aspect of our progress for us, and only when our thinking progresses, will our other aspects continue to progress, and the economy and economy will develop better and better. Well, this phenomenon still exists now, but it has slowly decreased.
