丈夫古时我国有些部落有抢婚的习俗。女子选择夫婿,一般以身高一丈为标准(当时的一丈约等于七尺,一尺约合现在的六寸多)。有了这个身高一丈的夫婿,才可以抵御强人的抢婚,根据这种情况,女子都称她所嫁的男人为“丈夫”。妻子“妻”最早见于《易·系辞》:“人于其宫,不见其妻。” Some husbands ancient times, some tribes have the practice of marriage. Women choose husband-in-law, generally based on the height of one foot (at the time a man is equal to about seven feet, about a foot six inches now). With this husband of a height of ten feet, only to resist the strong man’s marriage, according to this situation, the woman said she married a man as a “husband.” Wife “wife” first seen in the “easy speech”: “People in their palace, not his wife.”
