In the feudal society of China, there must be an engagement or a private engagement.

Although the marriage system in Han Dynasty gave women the freedom to divorce, it also gave the husband greater privilege to divorce his wife. The husband doesn't need any legal formalities, just write a "divorce certificate" and order his wife to leave her in-laws' house, and their relationship will be dissolved. In ancient China, the "seven conditions" for divorcing a wife were first formed in the Han Dynasty. These seven reasons are: first, childless, second, adultery, third, disobedience to parents, fourth, talkative, fifth, theft, sixth, jealousy, seventh, serious illness. The privilege of men's seven outings is not only selfish, but also extremely inhuman. In particular, two of them "childless" and "seriously ill" have nothing to do with women's quality. "Three Don't Go" is a restriction on "Seven Outings". One is to take something and not get it back, the other is to lose it for three years, and the third is to have money only after you are poor. The first means that the woman's parents were alive when she got married and died when she divorced. The original extended family no longer exists, and divorcing his wife is tantamount to being homeless. Second, a husband who has lost his father or mother for three years cannot divorce. Third, when I got married, I was poor, but later I became rich. Allow men to divorce unilaterally. A husband enjoys the privilege of divorce, specifically, the privilege of divorcing his wife. This divorce is based on the wishes of the husband and his parents, and it is nothing more than taking legal procedures. As long as the husband is interested, just write a divorce certificate, which is reflected in the laws of slave society and feudal society. From the perspective of historical development, the formation of slave society is the result of the victory of husband power over mother power. Men dominate the family. Men and women. A woman's personal and property rights belong to her husband. Therefore, in slave society and feudal society, divorce is the privilege of the husband, while the wife has no right to divorce. The "Seven Outcomes" system in ancient China is a typical representative of autocratic divorce.
comment
"Divorce" is a means of divorce in China's ancient feudal society, which discriminates against women and is extremely unreasonable. It can also be said that this was also the law at that time. In ancient times, it was a unilateral death certificate, and only the man (husband) had the final say, indicating that the relationship between husband and wife no longer existed. The word "divorce" comes from the unreasonable social legal system in ancient times! But it is recognized as legal! It is equal to the current Divorce Law, but the current: enlightened, reasonable, just, feminist and civilized, 10,000 times better than "divorce"!
