In ancient times, why do men like to marry little girls of 13 or 14 years old?

Modern marriages are designed for late marriages and late parenthood, not to set the age, absolutely no marriage, if you violate this, is a violation of the marriage law.

Can be in ancient times, do not pay attention to these, the earlier the better, what doll marriage, child bride, as long as you have the conditions, casually come. Nowadays, some Muslim countries in Central Asia and African countries still practice this kind of thing, which I personally strongly despise.

Not to mention the ancient times, take the late Qing Dynasty Republic of China, there are still married to thirteen or fourteen young daughters as a wife, and countless examples. In ancient times, men were superior to women, and both men and women respected this, believing that women were born to be dominated by men.

This set of things, to blame Zhu Xi and Cheng Yi to get that set of? The first is that the woman's body is not a part of her body, but a part of her body is a part of her body.

The two of them were married to concubines and? The two of them are also taking a concubine and a woman, and they are also taking a woman's life.

These two men have taken a concubine and a woman, but they don't allow the woman to have dignity, freedom and autonomy, which is strange.

Marrying underage girls as wives, the most prevalent in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and gradually formed a trend. Some places, that the woman to this age is not married, it has become? Old girl? , it is not good to marry. Therefore, early to send a matchmaker to set up.

This despite some of the reasons, such as the short life expectancy of the ancient people, the ancient war, the ancient natural disasters, but this is not forced to girls less than the adult on the reason for marriage. It's not a reason and it's a reason because there is no reason at all. What the adults say is what the men say.

Some dynasties had a system of penalties and incentives for marriage, encouraging early marriage and early childbearing, which was intended to promote population development. If you were not married beyond a certain age, you were required to pay a poll tax that was 4-5 times higher than others. The amount of tax is so ridiculously high that there is no place to justify it. To avoid being penalized, it is therefore better to get married early and have children.

When I was a child, I lived in the rural areas of Shandong for a period of time, in which I learned from the mouths of some of the small-footed old women that most of them were married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and even some of them were married at the age of twelve or thirteen. After the marriage, do not know anything, not a lot of mother-in-law bullying, after the marriage has become a labor force and reproductive tools, almost no dignity to talk about. But there is no way, parents arranged, matchmakers, do not marry can not, for the marriage of their own is no right to choose, only to obey and cooperate.
