华中革命根据地对童养媳制度的改造

在传统父权制社会下，童养媳的处境极为痛苦。童养媳制度的形成主要是因为贫困及小农经济对劳动力的需求。童养媳制度存在着严重危害。华中革命根据地颁布法令政策，禁止童养婚，帮助童养媳解除不合理婚姻，禁止虐待童养媳，改善其生活境遇。在共产党妇女解放政策的推动下，童养媳通过参军、参加革命、寻求妇救会的支持来改变其命运，但由于小农经济的存在及社会改造的复杂性，童养媳现象在根据地时期并未完全消除。

A Study on Transformation of the Child Bride Institution in the Middle China Revolutionary Base Area

In traditional patriarchal society, the plight of child brides remains high. The reason for such practice depends on poverty and small-scale peasant economies in need of labour. Needless to say, the institution does serious harm. New policies are centered on forbidding the practice of related marriages, helping child brides renounce marriage, forbidding the maltreatment of child brides and improving their living conditions. Under promotion of the CPC, child brides can now change their destinies by joining the army, taking part in revolutionary practices and seeking the guidance of women’s federations. Because of the existence of small-scale peasant economies and the complication of social transformation, the child bride phenomenon has yet to be completely eliminated.
