英语语境:

The establishment of the institution of marriage and family marks a historical progress in the relationship between two sexes of human beings. In Chinese ancient times, marriage served as the accessory of families as well as clans. The basic principles of marriage mainly involved the monogamy (the usual practice of many concubines), the ban of the marriage for the couple with the same family name, the command of parents and the introduction from the matchmaker. The establishment of a marriage should abide by the six rites and the ways to break off a marriage included the seven big crimes, the death of true feelings between husband and wife, and divorce (a divorce according to the agreement). The possession of the marriage belongs to the husband or the oldest son, and the wife is subordinate to her husband.
