Because in primitive times, women's status was relatively low, and people thought women were accessories of men, so those women became the prey of these people, especially those beautiful women. In the Shang Dynasty, although there was such a custom of robbing marriage at that time, it was completely different from the primitive times.
At that time, the custom of robbing marriage in Shang dynasty was not predatory, but more humane, not forced to marry Buyi. The custom of robbing marriage is also a way to show masculinity of men and delicacy of women, which is very reasonable and legal. Moreover, parents and couples who are about to get married usually discuss the specific process of the wedding day in advance, and then the groom pretends to rob the bride on the wedding day. This can not only show the good feelings between men and women, but also indirectly show people that the woman's family has reservations and has to agree, and it can also make the wedding more lively and interesting.
Snatching marriage is a good custom in Shang Dynasty, which not only embodies the national style, but also is a meaningful wedding for unmarried men and women who are about to become husband and wife, and it is also meaningful for women.
