摘　　要：1950年5月颁布实施的婚姻法,将"五四"以来男女平等和婚姻自由等现代观念以立法形式确立了下来。该法对于革除中国乡村传统的婚姻陋习,建立以一夫一妻制为基础的现代婚姻制度起到了积极作用。但在其颁布实施的最初两三年里,由于舆论宣传上的临时性与突击性、婚姻法文本本身的不足、组织的缺位等原因,致使广大乡村民众普遍将婚姻法误读为"离婚法"与"妇女法",并导致了大量的自杀与被杀现象。这表明,改变传统婚姻制度,建立现代婚姻制度,实现社会的现代转型,是一个艰难的过程,实现这个过程有赖于生产方式的根本转变。The Marriage Law was promulgated and actualized in May 1950,which radicated the modern ideals such as gender equality and marital freedom.The law worked on abolishing the corrupt customs of marriage in the traditional society,and established a modern marriage system that was based on the principles of monogamy.However,the provisionality and intermittence in propaganda,the insufficiency of the law text itself,and the absence of organization,etc,made the rustic public mistake it for ＂The Divorce Law＂ and ＂The Women Law,＂ further caused a mass of death phenomenon.The above-mentioned proclaim that it is a hard course to reform traditional marriage system,and achieve a society transition.Completing the course depends on the fundamental transformation of production system.
