"Legal evil lives where the brood follows the dam." What do you think this riddle may mean?

English

grin007 [14]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

One owns the young offspring if he owns the mother.

Explanation:

The given line represents the doctrine which was created in ancient times. The sentence is, "Legal evil lives where the brood follows the dam."

Here, the word 'dam' means the mother while 'brood' means their off springs.

This doctrine determines the ownership of the animals and cattle such as bull, horses, etc.

It means that if anybody owns the mother that is the 'dam', he also owns the offspring, the 'broods'.

In the year 1842, the US Supreme court also extended this doctrine to humans saying that any slave born to slaves will also be a slave for life even if slavery is banned in that state.

DochEvi [55]
Some spectacular values that  help build good healthy relationships are

2. Empathy, because we do not have to condone the choices of each individual but it does help if we can try to put ourselves in there shoes and try to see things from their perspectives.
3.Understanding of the 5 love languages, because the five love languages include physical touch (hugs and kisses), giving gifts, words of affirmation, acts of service, and quality time. Being able to know what the other party in this relationship enjoys will help you to be able to communicate to them what makes you feel loved, and what you can do to make them feel loved.
