There were many child brides in the old society. Why is there such a tradition

The reasons for the traditional custom of ancient child brides include that poor families can't afford their daughters, so they sell them to rich families as child brides. Or some families don't have sons, so they have a child bride and ask her to call a son for their family. This custom is very big for girls, but because of the social environment at that time, child brides appeared.

First of all, the poor can't afford to sell their daughters to rich families.

In ancient times, many poor families didn't have enough money to raise their children, but in ancient times, the idea of son preference was very serious, so they had to have many children, and the girls among these children were very miserable, because their fate was either sold into hooks or bought by rich people as child brides. After being sold, their lives no longer belong to them, especially the existence of child brides. They are not regarded as a family. They are just machines that carry on the family line, maids who take care of constantly chauffeured children.

Second, rich people have no sons, so they call their sons child brides.

This can be said to be superstition, but in the ancient social environment, this is a normal existence. After all, who cares about a child bride that money can buy? It would be nice if the sold child bride could call her son. In the future, she will only become a servant girl enslaved by her sons and brothers and have no personal freedom. But for a child bride who didn't call her son, their life is indescribable misery. After losing their original value, they can only drag out an ignoble existence in that big family, and even have no freedom to live.
