In ancient times, the system of monogamy and multiple concubines was implemented, and there was only one wife, also called a wife, who was a person who married a person who had passed through the door with three mediators and six women, and eight sedan chairs. After the death of the wife, she can continue the string, and her status is still equal to that of the wife, and there can be many concubines, most of them are dowry girls, and some of them are bought as concubines with a fancy to their beauty, or they are given as concubines for other people. In ancient times, the status of the wife was equal to that of the husband, the husband was in charge of the outside and the wife was in charge, and she was the housewife, and the wife would be buried with her husband after her death, and enjoy the incense offerings of the offspring. The concubine is only a servant of the husband and his wife, and is not qualified to manage the housework, and cannot be buried with the husband after death.
The children born to the main wife are the children of the concubine, and the children born to the concubine are the concubines and concubines. Because the son is valued by the mother, the status of the concubine and the concubine are different, and the treatment is completely different. In ancient times, the inheritance of the family business was established by the eldest son but not by the concubine, that is to say, the eldest son could inherit the family business, but the concubine had no inheritance right. Even if the concubine's ability is better than that of the concubine, the concubine can only obey the concubine. So if the wife has no children, does the concubine born to the concubine have the right to inherit the family property?
A family's most valued is the incense of its descendants, and it is also the capital that the family can continue to have, and the living conditions in ancient times were poor, and force majeure factors often appeared. Children born to the wife often die young, and then they are unable to have children due to their physical condition. In this kind of situation where the wife has no heirs, the wife will encourage the husband to take a concubine for the purpose of prolonging the heirs, but in the final analysis, this is a child born to the concubine, and it is impossible to inherit the family business under normal circumstances, and because the wife has no children, the concubine can inherit the family property in another situation, that is, succession.
The wife inherits the child born from the concubine to her own name, and her status is equal to that of her son-in-law, and she has the right to inherit the family property. But it is only an opportunity for the concubine, after the concubine succeeds, the status of the biological mother and concubine will not change in any way, and after the concubine successfully inherits the family business, he can only respect the stepmother, and the biological mother is still not able to enter the family ancestral hall, and he cannot be buried with his father after death.
If you divorce your wife and remarry, can your concubine still inherit the family business? First of all, divorce wife, divorce is not for no reason can be done in ancient times, if the wife is not virtuous, make a big mistake will have the possibility of divorce, after all, they are all the children of the door, and the divorce order means that the two families do not get along with each other, so they will not easily divorce their wives until they are helpless. And if you really divorce your wife and remarry, and the successor wife has children, she is also a concubine, and she has the right to inherit the family business, and the concubine still cannot inherit the family business.
In ancient times, it was very difficult for a concubine to inherit the family business, as long as the wife gave birth to a son normally and grew up normally, the concubine did not have the slightest chance, and if the concubine gave birth to an heir, the concubine died unexpectedly, and it was the son-in-law's turn to inherit the family business, not the concubine's turn. So from the moment the concubine was born, the fate of the concubine herself had been decided.
