Family Law Reform
Briefly describe major features of women's roles and positions in Confucian patriarchal and patrilineal family.

In other words, the male family members were first in line for power, authority, influence and assets. If something happened to them, is the when women would receive property and play a greater role.

The government was focused on supporting the ideas of liberalism to a certain extent. While at the same time, they could maintain a hierarchy within the family structure. As a result, the men were seen as the bread winners and are most important individuals in the family. This meant that their…
