Book Description
Excerpt from The Family Law of the Chinese In the Chinese mind law1 9! In ii) and general custom (a fi kuei ch12) are mixed up and cannot be kept separated. A Chinese judge will always modify the rigour of the law if local usage differs from it; and a Chinese will invariably be in favour of fi 3 ch'ing ii (the application of special circumstances) in each case. In this sense the term family law is to be understood not merely as a statement of the Chinese family laws (leges) but including also general usages, which will have to enter largely into a future codification of the Chinese law, especially private law.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1896 edition. Excerpt: ... the case of a concubine are less severe than in the case of a wife. Marriage is called j@ hun-yin; to marry a husband is chia-fu for wife and concubine alike (J fc nan hun nil chia, the man marries, the wife takes a husband). Compare the Italian casare. 5.--Relation Of Husband And Wife To Each Other. Through the marriage the wife becomes, as was the case according to the law before Justinian,76 not only uxor but comes also into the mantis mariti. She ceases to be sui juris, if she ever was it, and leaves the patria potestas, if she stood under it.77 It is in consequence of the way in which the wife comes into the power of her husband that she acquires very few rights with the marriage. Though she shares the rank and honours of her husband,78 she has no right to demand conjugal fidelity from him,70 whilst she, by sinning against it, commits a heinous crime. It is a cause for divorce if the wife beats her husband a case probably as rare in China as with us, and, when it happens, more likely to be quietly endured than brought into court, but the husband has the right to inflict corporal punishment on her. He is, however, punishable if by doing this he inflicts a wound; but he escapes with a fine if he and his wife are willing to be divorced. 16 See Mackeldey, Lehrb. dcs rom.
