The difference between a daughter-in-law and a wife, you will understand after reading these points

Most people think that a daughter-in-law is a wife, and a wife is a daughter-in-law, and that they are just called differently in different places. But is this really the case?

The differences between the two terms "daughter-in-law" and "wife" are roughly as follows:

1: Daughter-in-law is generally a name for a young wife or fiancée. This is so-and-so's fiancée, this is so-and-so's niece's wife or nephew's wife, but you can never say so-and-so's nephew's wife or nephew's wife.

2: Generally, for a couple who have obtained a marriage certificate and have lived together for many years, the husband calls his wife "wife".

Three: In terms of time, the title of daughter-in-law should have appeared earlier than that of wife. I have never heard the word wife in any costume drama on TV.

4: In terms of region, the southern regions of Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan generally call their wives "wife", while the northern regions generally call their wives "daughter-in-law". Of course, this refers to one person, so it is not a difference, but a regional difference. When I asked many gay men, their first reaction was that they were different, there was only one wife, but you could have multiple daughters-in-law, but no one could clearly explain the specific difference.

From this point of view, women are definitely not clear whether a daughter-in-law is a wife, because the two titles of daughter-in-law and wife are defined by men. Only men know in their hearts whether a daughter-in-law is a wife!

They would also think that the one who listens to you is called daughter-in-law, the one who likes to roar like a lion is called wife, and the one who serves you when you are old and can't walk is called wife.
