An abridged translation of "Heian-jidai no Rikon no Kenkyu" (A Study of Divorce in the Heian Period) written by Hiromu Kurihara, Ph.D. This book provides in-depth insights on how men and women met, married, lived and divorced in Heian Japan and before. Although many scholars have argued that women had freedom of divorce and remarriage in those days, the author proves that only men had advantage of freedom using various excerpts from ancient literature and historical texts.
