Why can Alesson Ho be polygamous?

At that time, the law stated that Chinese men could have polygamy.

At that time, Hong Kong still had the laws of the Qing Dynasty (probably the "Great Qing Statute"), which seems to have changed until the 70s.

When Stanley Ho got married, before the law was changed, so, he was legal.

It turned out that when Britain took over Hong Kong at the end of the Qing Dynasty, it directly followed the "Qing Statutes", and the Qing law could legally enjoy the concubine room, not only legally taking concubines, but also legally obtaining concubine documents. It was not until the 70s of the last century that the old law was abolished in Hong Kong.

Although the law was abolished, the Hong Kong people still followed this old custom at that time, and it was called "putting wine" to the outside world without documents, so the first two wives of the gambling king Stanley Ho were recognized by law, three.

Mrs., the fourth wife just announced that she had married a little wife through "setting up wine", and most of the rich people in Hong Kong generally do this, but we call it illegal cohabitation in the mainland.

The Qing Dynasty has long since fallen, why can the gambling king Stanley Ho marry 4 wives? Isn't it bigamy?

He does have four wives, but only one of them is a wife, and the rest are aunts, he has enough money to allow his aunts and wives to coexist peacefully, and he doesn't need to get a license, of course, no problem, the law can't stop him from raising a little wife.

It is a problem left over from history, his first two wives are legal, Hong Kong only abolished polygamy in the seventies of the last century, his second room was married before this, it is legal, the latter two rooms are not legal, the good thing is that the concubine room, not even a certificate, do not commit bigamy, it is normal for a rich man to have several rooms, but he does not give every woman a name like him.

Stanley Ho was a native of Hong Kong, and later went to Macau in 1941 to work and start a business. In the case of polygamy, two were married, and later two more were married in the case of monogamy, but the latter two were not registered. He de jure.

Hello, according to your question, I feel that there was polygamy in that era.

Sincerely answer for you, I hope to adopt.

This is related to the law at the time, but when you have such wealth and status as him, you will know that the law and social morality are just a fig leaf to restrain the common people!

In fact, on the mainland, Lao He has already violated the law.

Since Hong Kong was colonized by the British, its laws are different from those of the mainland. Hong Kong has only implemented marriage law reform since 1971, and polygamy was allowed before. Before that, Stanley Ho had two wives.

The latter two are legally unlawful from both Hong Kong and the mainland. It is an illegal cohabitation, and its children are all illegitimate children.

Because he has only one wife in the main house, the others can be described as lovers. It is commonly known as the agreement that it is acceptable for a dignitary to have several wives for the public. On the contrary, the honest one who only has one wife is a little surprised. It doesn't matter what era it is.

It seems that there is only one wife registered in the register.。。

It is also protected for women. Because they are vulnerable.

Rich people are like this, and the law is against us civilians.

If someone has money, you can marry it, 100 of them is not a problem!

The older generation of Chinese in Hong Kong can use the laws of the Qing Dynasty. Chinese mainland had already repealed the Qing Dynasty Law in 1910, but the real repeal of the law was in 1972. In 1842, Hong Kong was included in the British colonial territory by the Qing Dynasty.

However, the treaty signed by the two sides stipulated that Hong Kong law still followed the "Qing Statutes" for the Chinese, and this provision was not completely repealed until 1971. In 1971, Hong Kong abolished the "Qing Law" and promulgated the "Marriage Reform Ordinance" in 1972, which made "polygamy" illegal, ending Hong Kong men's use of the "Qing Dynasty Law" as a shield to take concubines or divorce wives. It was only after Hong Kong banned polygamy that Macau also abolished the Qing Dynasty law, and polygamy was curbed in Hong Kong and Macau.

You're talking about Cameroon, right?

In African countries, legally, monogamy is also allowed!

However, in real life, in addition to one wife in the legal sense, many blacks will have a second or third wife, and even if they have money, they can find more! It's just not legally recognized!

We know a general in a certain country, and I don't know how many wives we have! There are already more than a dozen children!

It's the driver we hired, with a salary of less than $200 a month, and two wives!

As for what you said about the Cameroonian son marrying his own mother! You must have seen too much, or heard too many rumors......Never heard of it in Cameroon!

Hong Kong law is monogamous, if second, third, fourth. If a wife is not registered, there is no violation of the law of monogamy. If you have the ability to marry a hundred wives, no one cares, as long as you can handle it, it's fine.

But then there is the ability to get old, how sir; I have more than enough heart and not enough power (don't get me wrong, I don't mean that), the houses have rebelled, how annoying!

Previously Hong Kong was based"Statutes of the Qing Dynasty"Polygamy was abolished in 1970"Statutes of the Qing Dynasty"Polygamy is changed to monogamy under Hong Kong law

Once upon a time, Hong Kong still retains polygamy?? I haven't heard of it in so many years, and I haven't seen it yet!! Polygamy was abolished in Hong Kong as early as October 7, 1971!!

If polygamy is still preserved, the world will be in chaos!! Someone comes to the door every day, and someone commits suicide every day...

They are not like this in the People's Republic of China, it is a product of the old times, and most of them are divorced, and entertainment magazines are always a bit exaggerated, and now at least legally it is not allowed to do so.

Money is his only pillar.

So we girls have to love themselves.

Don't hurt someone else's family for the sake of immediate gain.

Men are born to be cheap, and there is no way.

But we girls must know it in our hearts!

Oh, I think my words are very interesting! Hehe.

That's Hong Kong, Hong Kong used to be a British colony, not the same as the laws of the mainland, in Hong Kong before, you can marry several wives, not only that, marry into a rich family and change your surname, that is, add your husband's surname in front of your name, for example, if a woman is called Li xx, marry a rich man surnamed Chen, you have to change your name to Chen Li xx

Those are lovers.

To put it bluntly, it's a woman.

It's for yourself.

It's also for his huge family business.

Of course, men become bad when they are rich, haven't you heard?

Those who have no name and no share are those who have no certificates.

They are not polygamous. It is polyandry.

Why can Stanley Ho, the "Macau gambling king", marry four wives at the same time? Is polygamy legal in Hong Kong?

Polygamy" has become a natural and natural thing. And now, with the development of society and the deepening of civilization, women have gradually entered more jobs, have higher education, become elites in the workplace, their own strength has been verified, and their economic income is no longer completely dependent on men, so why bother to live by men's colors and endure polygamy?

Secondly, the peaceful and stable social environment has given girls a sense of security, and now our country's legal system is more perfect, law enforcement is more rapid and strict, and girls have more security in real life, and they don't have to worry about being in danger all the time, and they no longer need the protection of men with power. The position of the husband and wife has become more equal, and since equality naturally means mutual respect and understanding, it is natural that there is no need to adhere to polygamy.

Finally, the introduction of advanced ideas from the West has led to the awakening of feminist consciousness. The awakening of feminist consciousness in the West was earlier than that of China, and the introduction of culture made Chinese women gradually realize the existence of their own value, and pay more attention to their own feelings and ideas, rather than following the three obedience and four virtues.

Nowadays, girls have the same rights as boys in education, the right to vote and the right to stand for election, and in this context, girls will naturally take advantage of the social environment to make themselves better, so good that they are gradually equal to boys and gain the same respect. In this way, it is natural to practice monogamy.

In ancient times, it was a feudal society, respecting men and women, and women had no status. The man wanted to marry a few, and the woman did not dare to object. What woman would want to share a husband with someone else now?

I don't think it's right now. It's because if we do, we're going to reduce the range of women.

Men have an advantage in physical strength, so women have to be dependent on men at that time, and at that time fewer people were also a problem, such a family, there were more family members.

Nowadays, most of them pursue loyalty to love, and the ancient rich and noble families were polygamous, mainly based on economic strength.

Women in ancient times did not have jobs, they bound their small feet and relied on men to support them. In modern times, equality between men and women is emphasized.

In the past, the thinking was still very backward, thinking that girls must marry when they are old, and men should be served by many people if they work hard.

Polygamy is still legal in some countries, but I don't remember which country.

Because there were more girls in ancient times, and the ideology was more feudal and male-dominated.

Now that equality between men and women is being promoted, can polygamous men and women still be equal?
