论清代再婚妇女的婚姻自主权

The Matrimonial Decision-making Right of Women in Remarriage in the Qing Dynasty

作为一个特殊的妇女群体,清代寡居妇女在再婚的过程中拥有一定的婚姻自主权。这种自主权主要是指妇女的不嫁权与请求再嫁权。不嫁权的存在得力于理学贞节观念的影响,而请求再嫁权则更多源于经济因素。

As a special female group widows in the Qing Dynasty enjoyed, to some degree, the right to making their own decisions on the question of remarriage, a right not to remarry and also to request for remarriage. The right not to remarry stemmed from the influence of the chastity concept advocated by Neo-Confucianism, while the right to request for remarriage, more often than not, originated from economic factors.
