Abstract：The 1950＂Marriage Law＂ not only ignited a revolution to the traditional Chinese marriage and family system,but also ushered in dramatic changes in personal life,social order and institutional arrangement.It was a milestone in the development history of women＇s rights.After the law was promulgated,the central government used educative,administrative and legal means to launch a nationwide campaign of educating and publicizing as well as punishing those with criminal activities that new healthy marriages began to appear.However,out-of-date marriages still existed in many regions because of the lingering feudal marriage views and many social conditions,which had even forced women to pay a heavy price within a time after the promulgation.This shows that the establishment of a modern marriage system was a long-term process.
