Referred to as the"freedom of remarriage"in marriage documents of Qingshui river area,"Silukaiqin"is a cus-tomary law written on the folk contract.With the interplay among the"initiators","promoters"and"blockers"of"Silukaiqin",a dynamic and repeated marriage order appeared.Actually,the fetters on women's freedom of remarriage were especially obvious:firstly,women are relatively passive to get a reason for freedom of remarriage.Secondly,women needed to reach an agreement on the contents of the dowry return and free contract under the advice of the intermediary in a certain way before they could get the right remarriage;third,under the traditional regulation,strong deterrence or neutralization of the customary law,women could only get the relative freedom of remarriage by obeying,resisting,or adjusting after the resolution of the right.
