The Role of Ta-Li-Yuan’s Judicial Practice in the Early Republic of China from the Perspective of Women’s Rights Protection

Abstract

Benefiting from the influence of Western legal principles and the emerging women’s rights movement, marriage relationships in early Republican China gradually shifted from male superiority to gender equality. To strengthen the implementation of principles of equality and justice in legislation, the highest judicial authority at the time, the Ta-Li-Yuan, established universally guiding precedents and interpretations to promote the protection of women’s rights. Based on this, this paper examines the adjustments and enhancements to the legal system through specific divorce cases in the early Republic period, focusing on the judicial practice of the Ta-Li-Yuan, and explores its role in advancing the protection of women’s rights.
