When it was the time to get married, these ladies would have their husbands chosen by their parents and they would move in with their spouses’ families later. A married woman needed to serve her parents-in-law, her husband, and her children with utmost obedience and care. She would be integrated into her husband’s family, thus she could not hold the same degree of affection as her male siblings for her natal family. Because of this reason, a married woman would be allowed to wear the mourning clothes and conduct the mourning for her natal family only for a short period of time. She had no right to inherit the family’s assets since she did not carry out any responsibilities towards her family. Mourning, ancestral rites, and managing the family were done by the sons or the first sons to be exact, so the sons had more rights to get the inheritance, plus they were the people who continue the family line through the birth of sons to carry the family name. There were exceptions to the inheritance issue, especially when one’s family had no immediate male relatives. In this case, the married woman would get the inheritance but towards the later Joseon Dynasty, the document would state her husband as the one who officially inherited the share, thus the woman would not have any control over the inheritance.
