The traditional custom of marrying mother after father's death.

The reason why Huns have such a custom is because Huns want to protect their property; Protect their loved ones; Refuse to be bullied by orphans and widows.

First, there is also a war between Huns to protect property. They believe who is the eldest brother and who is Khan. This belief forced them to protect their property.

Money makes the mare go, which is not only useful in modern times, but also particularly useful in ancient times. Huns have money to raise a large number of military forces, so that they can compete with other races and become the leader of the whole Huns.

After the death of a Xiongnu man, his property must be inherited by his daughter-in-law and managed by her. If this woman marries another man, then this part of the property will be taken away, and his son will lose, and so will his brother.

Xiongnu people's ability to make money is not as strong as that of Han people. Their property was saved by generations of hard work, not by one generation. In addition, women's childbearing is also an important property. Let the women of their own family go to other races to reproduce and strengthen others, it is better to leave them and strengthen their own family.

Why? Father marries mother, brother marries sister-in-law? In order to prevent the loss of property, we can continue to inherit this property.

Second, protect relatives within the family. If my brother dies, leaving my sister-in-law and young children behind, how can she live on the grassland? She will find another man to live with. What should I do if the man I am looking for is not good for my children and sister-in-law?

Fight this man for your sister-in-law and children? It seems unreasonable. After all, my sister-in-law has married him and is his woman. How he treats her is his right, and no one can interfere.

What should the child do? Children are young and helpless and abused since childhood, which Huns do not want to see. They don't want this to happen. It is better to marry the nearest man than to marry another man, so as to protect them for life.

Third, it is difficult to live in the grassland and refuse orphans and widows. It is impossible for a daughter to stand on the grassland with her children. Life itself has made it difficult for orphans and widows to survive, and it is even more fatal to face the innocent bullying of many people.

Huns are very United. They don't allow their women and children to be bullied by others. When they were bullied, they thought they were not good at it, and all of them were insulted.

It is better to be your own woman than to watch them being bullied.
