Abstract
The note examines the rights of married women in the People's Republic of China (PRC) and Taiwan, highlighting how traditional Confucian values continue to influence family law and practice despite legal reforms aimed at promoting gender equality. It argues that while both countries have enacted progressive laws, societal attitudes and enforcement mechanisms often undermine these legal advancements, perpetuating women's subordinate status.
