Lin Zhongchun said: "According to the new laws of the Jing Dynasty, the old Zhang family should have full power to dispose of the land, but one thing cannot be changed, that is, Zhang Juan also belongs to the Zhang family. Although she is a married woman,
There is an inseparable blood relationship with the Zhang family. However, the law stipulates that only a male member of the Zhang family, with no married women, can inherit the inheritance. Cousin Shaobai, you said this law requires
Wouldn’t it be too harsh for a girl who is married outside?”
Since there were no outsiders present and it was not a court hearing, Lin Zhongchun called Peng Shaobai his cousin.
Peng Shaobai did not think there was a problem with this law. He said: "If there is no such provision, what are the prerequisites for the male members of the family to inherit the property? Besides, after you get married, you have your own family and you should get the benefits you deserve.
Is this true?"
Lin Zhongchun remained silent. In fact, what her cousin said was not unreasonable. But she felt a little uncomfortable. She remembered that the first case she took on was the inheritance and distribution of property under the will of a married woman.
Although Zhang Juan's situation was different from the first case she came into contact with, as there was no will as a prerequisite, she mentally acquiesced that the two cases were of the same nature.
The rights of married women seem to have been ignored, or even ignored.
The premise of this case is that Zhang Juan borrowed the land to house her mother-in-law, so there is nothing wrong with returning it.
However, Zhang Juan still has a relationship with the old Zhang family. They are connected by blood and cannot be separated.
From a humanistic point of view, Zhang Juan can appropriately obtain some land; from a legal point of view, Zhang Juan has nothing to do with property.
"Cousin, have you noticed that most married women, even if they have fulfilled their support responsibilities to their original families, did not protect their rights and interests well when dividing the inheritance and the new laws of the Jing Dynasty.
If they fulfill the same responsibilities, why can't the benefits obtained by the two be equal? I'm not saying that there was something wrong with Zhang Juan's matter just now, but her existence has given us a reflection
"Although a married woman is married, she is essentially a child of the family."
Lin Zhongchun has his own considerations. The existence of "married women" is not an exception. There are many people who blindly pay without getting anything in return. There are also many who even have to pay more than the men in the family. In this case, based on this,
What's unfair?
Lin Zhongchun knew that her thoughts were frightening, but she couldn't help it. She couldn't help but think about the treatment of married women. She just couldn't control it.
Peng Shaobai has not thought about this issue, or in other words, this matter does not constitute a problem for him at all. The interests of married women have been stipulated in this way since the founding of the dynasty, but in recent years, married women have been designated to inherit the inheritance
There are more and more cases, so the new laws of the Dajing Dynasty also added several laws that as long as there is a will, married women can inherit the inheritance.
But these cannot change the deep-rooted ideas that have been held for thousands of years!
Peng Shaobai moved his lips, wanting to say something, but he felt that it was not appropriate to speak at this moment. His cousin looked stunned, and if he spoke, his cousin might not be able to listen.
However, it is not appropriate to allow my cousin to continue to have such thoughts.
Peng Shaobai thought about it for a while and said: "Zhongchun, sometimes I think your ideas are very different from Xinlu, but your ideas are very novel. In fact, as far as the current situation is concerned, the situation of married women is indeed very difficult.
The interests are also very unequal. But in Zhongchun, these situations did not appear suddenly, but were left over slowly over a long period of time. If you want to solve this problem, it will be more difficult than the problem itself.
