In ancient China, the concept of male superiority over female inferiority was deeply rooted, and the status of women was very low, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were allowed to be slaughtered, so many classes of extremely miserable situations were produced, and one of the classes of women was only used as a fertility machine, and their status was inferior to that of concubines.
We all know that in ancient times, there were concubines and concubines, so the status of concubines and concubines was very low, but most of the people with concubines were rich and noble, and they only needed to serve their masters. And the concubine, as the wife of the master, after all, has a certain status, and the treatment is not a little better than that of the maid, and there are even people who serve food and clothing. But today's Xiaobian wants to mention the most pitiful group of women in ancient times, they have the fate of concubines, and they have been physically and mentally devastated since childhood, that is, the group of child brides.
Child brides-in-law have been raised by their in-laws since childhood, they want to stay with their husbands since childhood, cultivate feelings, perhaps you will ask, child bridesmaids and their husbands can also be said to be green plum bamboo horses, two small no guess, this is not very good? However, the truth is far from simple.
Child brides-in-law are generally because the mother's family is poor and cannot be fed, so they sell their daughters for money, so that they can also save the dowry money; and for the in-laws, they are also relatively poor, raising a child bride can spend less money on the dowry and wedding, so the best of both worlds, why not enjoy it?
In ancient times, women who married either relied on their sons or their own mother-in-law's family, while child brides-in-law did not have a mother's family, and if there was no son and a half daughter under their knees, it is conceivable that their life would be extremely difficult. Because, once they do something wrong and are suspended by their mother's family, they are really homeless, so they can only be people with their tails between their legs.
Moreover, the relationship between the child bride and the husband is similar to that of the master and the servant, rather than the so-called husband and wife relationship. When they were young, the child bride had to take care of her husband's food, clothing, and living, and when she grew up, she had to have a house with her husband, so they were the real concubines and the lives of the concubines. During the Qing Dynasty, some officials wrote to the Xianfeng Emperor in the hope of abolishing the bad habit of child brides, and finally after a long period of evidence collection, the Xianfeng Emperor decreed that the sale of child brides was not allowed. But there are still many people who have moved from the ground to the underground, after all, there are too many powerful relationships involved.
In today's era of advocating equality between men and women, the class of child brides and daughters no longer exists, women's awareness of defending their rights is extremely high, and the ability of society to protect women's rights is also increasing, it can be said that for all contemporary women, this is a gospel.
