Ancient princess marriage system
If a princess dies young but lives to adulthood, she will marry a courtier in most cases. After the Jin dynasty, due to the title reform, the princess husband no longer sealed Hou, but worshipped him as a captain Xu. Since Ma Xu became the exclusive title of the princess's husband, she has become more and more strict with the princess and her husband's family.
It is very common for a princess to choose becoming a monk or a nun to remain unmarried for life in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was very common for women to remarry, even for princesses. Some princesses have even been married three times. For example, Princess Pingyang first married Cao Can's great-grandson Cao Shou, then remarried to Ruyin Hou Xia Houdun, and later remarried to Chang Pinglie Hou Weiqing after Xia Houdun's death. For the first time in the Sui Dynasty, there was a law prohibiting widows from remarrying, while the princess in the Song Dynasty rarely remarried.
