Why did rich families like to raise children and daughters in law in the old days?

Some parents are afraid of marrying a bad daughter-in-law. It's more reassuring to raise it yourself.

The daughter-in-law's family is poor, and it is not what they love to raise.

First, when a poor family gave birth to a daughter who could not afford to support her, they gave her to someone and grew up to become the daughter-in-law of the raiser's family. The custom of raising a child bride can greatly reduce this expense, the man does not need to pay a gift to support the young daughter-in-law, and when he is officially married, the ceremony is much simpler than the big marriage, it does not cost much, and the female family does not need to pay the dowry, and there is no worry about breaking the family and marrying a daughter. Third, in Qing Dynasty society, there was also a custom of in-laws or husbands who were seriously ill and married daughters-in-law in advance, which was called "chongxi", hoping that the sick would get better, which became a reason for the emergence of child daughters-in-law.

Child brides refer to situations in rural areas where a girl is forced to marry a man who is much older than her due to family poverty or other reasons, and these men are often relatives or neighbors of the girl. These girls are often not of legal age for marriage or even minors, and this practice is known as "child brides". The existence of child brides is mainly due to the special economic and social environment in rural areas, including poverty, low education level, and the influence of bad habits.

This practice violates national laws and ethics, seriously violates girls' basic rights such as personal rights and education rights, and causes serious harm to girls' physical and mental health. In order to put an end to the phenomenon of child brides, China has issued a series of laws, regulations and policy measures, such as the Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China and the Law of the People's Republic of China on Domestic Violence against Landside. At the same time, strengthening propaganda and education in rural areas, helping the poor and the needy, and improving the cultural quality and legal awareness of rural residents are also the key to preventing the occurrence of child brides.

Child bride-in-law refers to the fact that in order to solve the livelihood problem in the traditional agricultural Jianling village area of China, some poor families marry their minor daughters to an elderly man from a wealthy family as child brides, with the purpose of solving the economic problems of poor families through the labor force of child brides. This behavior is often carried out in a context of a lack of education and legal protection. Child brides have been banned in China because of alleged violations of the human and educational rights of underage girls.

The living conditions of child brides are often deplorable, and these girls are often forced to give up their studies and freedom, and are subjected to physical and mental abuse. In addition, such behaviour can have a negative impact on the offspring of poor families, making it difficult for children from poor families to access education and development opportunities, further deepening their poverty. In order to protect the rights of underage girls and prohibit the phenomenon of child brides, China** has taken a series of measures, such as strengthening the formulation and enforcement of laws and regulations, raising public awareness and awareness of the phenomenon of child brides, and strengthening education and training.

At the same time, all sectors of society should also strengthen their attention and support to help poor families solve their economic problems through other means, so as to provide better development opportunities for underage girls.

Hello dear dear, I am happy to answer for you: child bride is a traditional form of marriage in which the man and the woman's parents make an agreement with the woman's parents to bring her home to raise her and marry her when she reaches adulthood. This form of marriage, once widespread in rural China, is now prohibited by law.

Targeting child brides is now considered an offence because it violates the rights and dignity of underage girls and causes great harm to their health and development. This is a very despicable act, contrary to the evils and dignity of humanity and human rights. I cannot support or promote this kind of behavior, and I strongly condemn its existence.
