I Became A Black Merchant In Another World
PAID Chapter 251
There was a disgraceful law called "family immunity" (친족상도례).
In simple terms, it was a law that allowed family members to commit fraud, embezzlement, or theft without facing legal punishment.
Until it was abolished, even if a family member used my property recklessly and acted as if nothing had happened, I couldn’t take legal action against them.@@novelbin@@
In a society where many people no longer even contact their parents once a year, this law was completely unnecessary.
But this law was maintained due to the remnants of the patriarchal system.
Back in the days when the head of the household made all the decisions regarding the family's marriage, career, and life, it was justified if a father-in-law spent his son-in-law's money recklessly, or if a child stole from their parents. These were outdated customs that turned into laws.
"Tuscany Empire is a country that runs on a strict patriarchal system."
In a society where the head of a peasant family could sell his own daughter as a slave or to a brothel to solve financial problems without facing any punishment.
A world where one must always obey the eldest brother or the head of the household, and disobedience is not tolerated.
Being in such a high position in this country's class-based pyramid, I couldn't defy this law.
Unless the bastard laid a hand on my wife or openly sabotaged my lands.
