How cruel was the ghost marriage process in ancient times?

Ghost marriage is not limited to the dead and the dead, but even includes the living and the dead. However, ghost marriage requires a living woman completely different from a dead man and a dead woman.

Liang Shaoren once said at the end of Qing Dynasty: "Nowadays, men and women have been employed. If they marry, they will die. If they marry, they will be buried in coffins. This is vulgar, but it is also polite. " This sentence means that after a ghost marriage, a woman must keep a festival for the dead man and can't remarry for life; Men can get married alone after marriage.

Although postponing ghost marriage is regarded as a happy event, it is often mixed with red and white etiquette, and the specific form depends on the opinions of the person in charge. Not only that, many times, ghost marriage is not limited to the dead, even including the living and the dead. However, ghost marriage requires a living woman completely different from a dead man and a dead woman.

The so-called concept of chastity can be said to have hurt the feudal women in China. Not only that, but even in some ghost marriages, in order to make the dead people not lonely underground and to achieve the purpose of burial, even the living people are forced to die alive, and even the means of burying them alive are outrageous. Fortunately, with the progress of the times, this bad habit has disappeared.
