Gives Up Own People

In arranging the marriage of a daughter a profitable exchange is the prime consideration, because the subsequent separation after her departure is so complete. Thereafter the young girl owes to her parents-in-law the obedience and respect she formerly gave her own parents. She no longer pays worship to the ancestors of her family, but severs her relations with the dead as with the living. Henceforth she can worship only at the shrine of her husband’s family.--Fu-Jen, Peiping.
