Secondly, polygamy was not uncommon in ancient times. According to historical records, Li (not the founding emperor), the ancestor of Xixia, once married women of major clans to ensure their loyalty and obedience. Song people call it:? There are many mother customs in Rong Fan. ? In Dangxiang, as long as you have this capital, you can marry as many wives as you want. According to unofficial history's records, the people with the most wives have more than 30 wives. If one of them doesn't like it, you can marry the other one by one.
Third, adoption refers to allowing Tangut men to marry their little mothers, aunts, uncles, sisters-in-law and wives of their children, mostly to prevent women's property and population from flowing out of their clan. In fact, this marriage custom is quite common in Siyi. The founder of Xixia once married a daughter-in-law as a queen, and finally his son cut his nose and died. However, after the establishment of the Xixia Dynasty, the inherited marriage customs also changed. When the widow's filial piety expires, her in-laws can leave with their consent, and they can decide where to go without their in-laws.
Fourth, sexual freedom before marriage. In Dangxiang, chastity is not emphasized between men and women. However, in those days, it was unusual for a couple to have sex before marriage and then die of double suicide. After Tibetan Buddhism entered the Tangut, due to the high status of monks, it became a popular trend for women to dedicate themselves to monks before marriage. However, in the eyes of Tangut people, there is probably no difference between dedicating themselves to monks and lovers.
