Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
SUCH AS IT IS with TAUT ERECT ROD
…or: TWO HANDS SPREAD in COMPLIANCE
…or: FEMALE, WOMAN, GIRL with CAUSE, BE BASED UPON, REASON FOR, DEPEND ON, DEPENDENCY, DEPENDENT
…or: FEMALE with TWO HANDS in ORIFICE or with TAUT HAND and THE OTHER SIDE TOO
…or: FEMALE with TAUT ERECT ROD in ORIFICE
…or: FEMALE with BIG, ENLARGED ORIFICE
「Both hands equal」might describe a more modernistic view of MARRIAGE, with one hand from each spouse, but it is certain that the sages would not have intended such a fairy-tale description of society long ago. Perhaps「similar to two hands」rather than using just one…「Female with both hands in orifice」also makes some sense, considering her natural desires and how MARRIAGE obligated women to fidelity or face death, literally, while males were free to visit prostitutes for sex, or engage with one another of course.
 「Female with big orifice」as MARRIAGE suggests post-natal enlargement of the birth canal, with pregnancy and childbirth being a leading result of (or cause of) marriage even in the present era. In the old days, most married females soon became pregnant after nuptials, hence a「female with an enlarged orifice」was either married, widowed, or ought to be married based upon old societal norms. See for details.
 MARRIAGE, meaning「depending on a woman」or, that MARRIAGE「depends upon the woman」or,「women cause」MARRIAGE, or「women depend upon」MARRIAGE, etc., etc., etc. Perhaps suggesting that MARRIAGE is the「cause that a woman captures a man's two hands」or「causes a man to use his two hands」instead of other outlets.「Big compliance」suggests MARRIAGE in the old days, again under the threat of death, and in later times of divorce that often caused a woman to be ostracized by society. Use your imagination for this one.
 Marriage is a relatively recent institution in our species’ 300,000-plus-years of history, originating perhaps 5,000 years ago in Mesopotamia, and until quite recently served to bind women to men as property assets, to ensure paternity, and protect the male's lineage among descendants. That puts marriage at ~1–2% of the age of Homo sapiens.

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Chinese: marriage connections
Unihan extended: relatives by marriage
EDRDG: matrimony; marry

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that) and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system. Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is! Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up. No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any dictionary. This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
