In the traditional Chinese concept, when a daughter marries, she no longer belongs to her own family, but becomes a member of her husband's family. To a certain extent, this concept has affected the status and rights of daughters in the family. Especially when it comes to inheriting property and supporting their parents, married daughters often face greater pressure and distress. Why, then, is it that a married daughter cannot inherit the family property, but still have to bear the responsibility of supporting her parents?

First of all, we should make it clear that according to the provisions of the Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China, equality between men and women is the basic national policy of our country. When it comes to property inheritance, both sons and daughters have equal inheritance rights. This means that a married daughter has a legal right to inherit. However, in real life, due to the influence of traditional beliefs, many families often exclude their daughters when distributing family property. This phenomenon not only violates the legitimate rights and interests of daughters, but also promotes the erroneous concept of preference for sons.

Secondly, it is the responsibility of every child to support their parents. According to the provisions of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China, adult children have the obligation to support their parents. This means that daughters have the responsibility to support their parents, regardless of whether they are married or not. At this point, daughters and sons are equal. However, in practice, due to the influence of traditional beliefs, many families will think that after their daughters get married, their husband's family should support their parents. This practice not only increases the burden on daughters, but also puts daughters in a vulnerable position in terms of supporting their parents.

So, how to solve this problem?First of all, we must establish a correct concept of family and abandon the erroneous idea of preference for sons over daughters. Family members should respect each other and treat each other equally, whether it is a son or a daughter, they should have equal rights. Second, we need to strengthen the publicity and popularization of the "Marriage Law" and the "Civil Code", so that more people can understand the legal provisions and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests. Finally, we need to promote the traditional virtue of respecting the elderly and loving the young, so that everyone can consciously fulfill the responsibility of supporting their parents.

In short, a married daughter has the right of inheritance in law and also has the responsibility to support her parents. We should abandon the shackles of traditional concepts and establish a correct family concept, so that everyone can be treated equally in the family. Only in this way can our society be more harmonious and beautiful.
