Why did the ancients think widows were unlucky, and men were looked down upon when they married widows?

Because the ancients paid special attention to auspiciousness, and widows were always regarded as unlucky by the ancients, men who married widows were looked down upon. In ancient times, people often prayed to God to worship Buddha for good luck. Widows were called widows because the woman died of her husband, which was a very unlucky thing in ancient times. But if his wife dies, men will be much less affected than women, probably because the status of ancient women is generally low. When choosing a wife, men usually choose those unmarried women with innocent family background.

If a man marries a widow, he will be accused of incompetence by his neighbors. Ancient families were generally concerned about the family's reputation, so if there was no compelling reason, every man in each family wanted his wife to be a naive and natural woman, and whether he had feelings or not was secondary. The most important thing is that he must be suitable and that woman must be innocent. If a man finds a widow as his wife, he will be said to be incompetent or even unable to find a wife.

In addition, in ancient times, the water spilled by married women and married women was like rags to many men and had no value. The luckiest thing for a woman is to meet a man she likes, and the other person had better have a good family and a long life, so that she can be considered happy. After all, in the eyes of many women, her husband is her own day. If her husband is gone, so is her home. The woman's family also hates this kind of woman without a husband. It can be said that such a woman is unpleasant wherever she goes.

Every man wants to find a beautiful young woman with a good family background as his wife. Few men will marry a widow and go home, because in that case, men's parents will say that men are unfilial and may not accept women into their homes because of their status.
