So did the pre-industrial Japanese have no qualms about breaking marriage pacts?Again, westners right? Japan view of Religion And marriage is way different. Their customs of religion is so detached that many consider themselves without religion, just following some practices of Budism/Xingoism because of culture legacy.
Marriage was mostly about keeping families together or to tie families to other families. So much that marriage in Japan hardly has a religious aspect. Now there is more because of globalization some couples want to glamourize the white dress in a church, but I can bet you that the majority have nothing to do with Christianity XD
Did they think it was okay to fuck your sworn brother’s wife (without his consent at least)?
Yeah I’m actually well aware of the differences in the cultures of the east and west, but I’m pretty sure attitudes towards betrayal of trust or breach of contract are quite universal.
Getting back to this chapter, without the benefit of knowing what the circumstances of that marriage is, this chapter just comes across as Ceres’ wife goading him into betraying his friend’s trust (or really just doing something he’s not comfortable with) with some handwaving BS reasoning.
Reading the spoilers though, it’s clearly not so bad, but it’s initially presented poorly I guess.
Which is why a lot of the reaction to the chapter is just “dude wtf”?
