Why is polygamy popular in Vietnam?

In people's past impression, Vietnam is a country with strong family values and more conservative. Its traditional gender culture requires women to remain chaste and faithful to men before marriage. The newer idea of free love is also difficult for most Vietnamese to accept.

But its marriages are bizarrely outlandish. Vietnamese men demand fidelity from their women in an extremely unusual way: they make their women give their first night to an old lover so that they can cut off all contact with the old lover and be completely faithful to their husbands, and never cheat on them in any other way.

Some tribes of the barbarians in northern Vietnam, it is very popular to marry the old lover first accounted for the "first night" of the "thank you" wedding customs. If a Vietnamese woman is determined to be engaged to a man, it is necessary to break off relations with other lovers. According to traditional customs, the bride does not live in the wedding night in the groom's cave, but to find an old lover **** pillow, as a sign of "thank you". After that, it is completely belong to the husband alone, loyal to the husband alone.

In recent years, all kinds of conservative ideas in the hearts of Vietnamese people seem to be slowly melting. Although Vietnam is a socialist country that practises monogamy, the gender imbalance caused by nearly a century of war has turned monogamy into polygamy.

In Vietnamese folklore, there are some special synonyms, such as "rice" for the first wife, "noodles" for the second wife, "rice noodles" for the third wife and "rice noodles" for the fourth wife. The fourth wife was called "steamed bread".

But not every man in Vietnam can taste all the "home cooking", because this is the price, a man in Vietnam on a few wives need to have a rich family property as a prerequisite for the line, otherwise you can only do daydreaming
