In Russia, for centuries, the genealogy was conducted on the male line. If a man dies without leaving an heir, the ROD is interrupted.
This is why Nekrasov wrote: "The family is one big one, and two people, all."
Anyone who doesn’t like it can go to Israel.

Not only in Russia, but all over the world. Well, they did not consider a woman a man (which, in general, is strange - the mother is almost always 100% known, but the father is not).
Per, only the rise of the Roman Empire on the rights of women can be compared to the modern world - women inherited equally with men, had independence, and the legal status of the child was determined by the status of his mother.
Also, rape (Roman citizens, of course) was a serious crime in which there was no fault of the victim. But in the following centuries, Christianity has somehow become accustomed to the position of "the guilty himself."
