The real reason why rape rarely occurred in ancient times Rape is a shocking and frightening crime, especially for women, it is not only a physical injury, but also a psychological trauma. However, when we open the history books, we rarely see the ancient words that mention rape. Does this mean that the ancients were of high moral quality and could not have committed such crimes? This is not the case, and there is a deeper explanation for why rape rarely occurred in ancient times.
This article will explore the real reasons why rape cases in ancient times are less frequent in terms of the early days of marriage between the ancients, the legalization of the green house, the cost of rape, and the emphasis on chastity. First of all, ancient people married very early, which is the first reason why rape cases are rare. In ancient times, men and women married very early, starting around the age of 13 to 14. However, according to biological common sense, boys and girls at this age are not mature, so the need for sex is not very strong.
The early days of marriage of the ancients made it possible for them to have a wife when they had a need for the opposite sex, which could effectively eliminate the desire for the opposite sex. In addition, almost all large families have three wives and four concubines, and there is no need to satisfy their desires through rape. Secondly, the legalization of the green building is also one of the important reasons why rape cases in ancient times have been reduced. Although rape is rarely mentioned in ancient times, the description of the Qinglou is very rich. The ancient Qinglou was legally legal and even an effective means of promoting economic prosperity.
In order to maintain their business, the old bustards would buy girls who were only a few years old from a young age, teach them Qinqi, calligraphy and painting, poetry and song, and even teach them some bed skills. Therefore, the ancient Qinglou woman, from a modern point of view, is a woman with culture, connotation and talent. For men with additional sexual needs, it is enough to spend some money to quench their thirst in the green building, without risking rape. The high cost of rape is also an important reason why rape cases in ancient times are rare.
In ancient times, transportation was very inconvenient, it took days to get from one place to another, and the population mobility was poor. If someone commits rape, he will face severe punishment, even affecting eighteen generations of his ancestors. In contrast, modern criminal law punishes rape relatively lightly. In ancient times, the punishment for rape was more barbaric, such as flogging, frontier and even hanging.
Such a criminal law is unacceptable to anyone, so it is rare for ancient men to commit rape at such a great cost. The importance attached to chastity in ancient times is also one of the important reasons for the low incidence of rape cases. Although chastity is also valued in modern society, in ancient times, chastity was a value that almost everyone valued. The family has a very strict education for girls, and girls are in waiting until they are married, and it is difficult for criminals to have access to them.
In particular, some powerful or wealthy families have strengthened their protection measures for girls, sending maids and guards to protect their personal safety. As a result, outlaws have little opportunity to commit rape. Even when rape occurs, the woman and her parents rarely choose to speak out, preferring to marry the girl to calm the situation. In addition, the lack of information dissemination in ancient times is an important reason for the fact that rape cases are rarely recorded. Ancient people did not have modern mobile phones and media, and the dissemination of information was very limited.
Even when rape occurs, only a few people know about it and it is not widely documented. Today, with the development of media and the rise of self-media, everyone can become an exporter of information, and vicious events will spread rapidly. As a result, the number of rape cases we now know is relatively high, but in ancient times, such crimes may have been known only on a small local scale. While ancient people's access to information was limited to a small number of vicious events that occurred locally, today we can learn about almost all the vicious events that occur throughout the country.
To sum up, there are many explanations for the reasons why rape cases rarely occurred in ancient times. The early marriage of the ancients, the legalization of the green building, the cost of rape and the importance that ancient people attached to chastity were all important reasons for the low incidence of rape. However, with the progress of society and the transformation of values, we should pay more attention and attention to the crime of rape, severely punish criminals through legal means, and protect everyone's physical and mental safety. In modern society, rape still exists, with a large number of cases occurring every year.
We should strengthen publicity and education, raise public awareness and vigilance against rape crimes, strengthen the law, severely punish criminals, and give victims due justice. Only in this way can we make society safer and enable everyone to live in an environment free of fear. Finally, what is your opinion on the reason why rape cases in ancient times are rare? How do you think modern society should deal with rape crimes?
