After the founding of the country began to implement monogamous system, those aunts have gone where?

The custom of having three wives and four concubines is the dregs of China's traditional culture. Although the Republic of China (ROC) practiced this formal "monogamy" system, whereby a man could only marry one wife, in practice it was still common for warlords, high-ranking officials, and tycoons to take concubines, so that aunts still existed. But by the time of the new China, this custom was no longer recognized by law, and where did these so-called aunts end up?

In the beginning, New China's treatment of aunts was still relatively humane, with aunts having the option of continuing to spend the rest of their lives in their husbands' homes, or voluntarily divorcing and leaving the family. Some of the aunts were even given a substantial amount of compensation for their divorce, enough to allow them to live out their lives in peace and security.

It is worth mentioning that those aunts who followed the warlords, because of the downfall, they themselves are difficult to protect, and the aunts even have nowhere to go. They ended up with nothing more than 2 things.

1. Reorganization of the family, the status of women was not as equal as it is now, and it was difficult to live independently without a man as a backer. So some aunts would go back to their hometowns to re-match, and find a man who loved her and married her regardless of past suspicions; while some aunts who did not want to live a dull life and hoped to lead an affluent life were looking for older lords, hoping that they could share part of the family property in the future, while the quality of life would also be lowered.

2. Some of the aunts were not only good-looking, but also had many skills, such as singing and dancing, as well as poetry and recitation. Before they married these people, they actually had a stable job themselves, so after they left the lords, they had to go back to their old jobs in order to make a living.

Overall, the Marriage Law enacted by the state not only focuses on enhancing women's rights, but also focuses on the personal wishes of both husband and wife. Nowadays, if a man still wants to be polygamous, it is impossible, because at this time, everyone's thinking has been successfully transformed, and the status of men and women is equal! On the flip side, there are disadvantages to having multiple wives, after all, with so many mouths to feed in a family, maintaining these relationships is a major problem! On the flip side, in fact, the family respects each other, and live a lifetime in peace is the real happiness!
