Well... Even in real life back in the days it was pretty much that... Sadly...
Yeah, kinda... At least they weren't taxed, so technically they were stl considered human beings. Here they are degraded to a level of a house...or a chair...
I mean unofficially they amounted pretty much to this much as well... I mean there were nobles who would use their daughter's marriage as a bargaining chip or even worse for common women they could be exchanged unofficially for a piece of land or even a few animals... Also it was not uncommon for a young girl of 16 to marry a widower or bachelor over 40 years old... From what I heard in my history classes and my own search... It was even tougher being a woman back then...
Well, yeah, they did have it tough, I'm not denying it. But at least, if you don't go way back to slavery times, they weren't publicly sold off to the highest bidder...
But ultimately, it comes to one thing - I'm not reading (fantasy) manhwas for their historical accuracy (￣∇￣")
Well yeah I am also definitely not looking for historical accuracy here lol It's just that this scene was not far from reality and I kinda wanted to pointed it out. (=・ω・=)
Note taken xD
First of all, fuck no. Women treated like TAXED property?? Hell nah. I don't know how good this will turn out, but I almost didn't finish the chapter, that's how much I hated the idea of women being treated like cattle...
