Abstract
ABSTRACTDuring the Chinese War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the base areas under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party implemented the principles of gender equality and free-choice marriage. However, divorce petitions of soldiers’ wives were often denied and, over time, there was a tendency toward tightening control. To defend their rights, soldiers’ spouses continued to petition the government and the court to divorce their husbands, yet the effect was minimal. Some wives engaged in passive resistance such as squabbling or committing adultery. The primary reason for the difficulty in obtaining a divorce was the war and military needs. The Communist government had no choice but to compromise the legal rights of soldiers’ spouses in order to stabilize the army.
