Tinder Project Why can ancient men take concubines at will, and the wife of the main house not only does not object, but also supports it very much?First of all, the ancient marriage system has been implementing monogamy and multiple concubines since the Western Zhou Dynasty, which means that there can only be one wife, but there is no limit to the number of concubines, but not everyone can take concubines, after all, concubines still cost a lot of money, and it is good for poor people to find a wife, so those wives and concubines are either princes and nobles. Either it is a rich family, but in ancient times, the status of the concubine was very low, and it could not affect the main house at all.
Although they both served the same man, there was no comparison between the main house and the concubine, because in ancient times, the wife had to be the right person. And it is necessary to carry a large sedan chair eight times, and welcome the house in a beautiful manner. And taking a concubine is different, you can buy it if you have money, and if you don't want it, you can sell it, which is the so-called concubine trading. And in some film and television dramas, the scene of the concubine making things difficult for the wife does not exist in reality, because if the concubine dares to hurt the wife, she will be punished, or even more serious, she will be temporarily executed, and there is no punishment for the wife to bully the concubine, even if the concubine is ***, it is not a big problem. These are enough to show that they are not actually protected by the law, so it is also understandable why many wives do not care about their husbands' behavior of taking concubines.
