'A new marriage law?'
The men intuitively felt that the marriage law set by the Great Empress was not beneficial to them, while the women looked expectant.
Bai Wutong returned to the Great Empress's residence and carefully listed out the new marriage system.
The new marriage law made monogamy compulsory.
The legitimate wife was acknowledged as the legal wife. From now on, apart from the assets before the marriage, the assets earned after the marriage were jointly owned.
Locals could only have one legal partner. Only the legal partner had the other party's inheritance rights, custody, and shared property.
Apart from a portion of the inheritance rights, children born to concubines were not allowed to infringe on any rights and interests of the legitimate wives.
